US gasoline eases for a week. Annual pressure remains.
The regular national average was US$4.465 a gallon on September 28, including taxes.
September 28 data · released September 29, 2026
The fact
The regular gasoline average fell US$0.013 from the previous week and was US$1.347 above a year earlier. This is a retail gasoline measure, not a crude-oil quote.
Why it matters
Small weekly relief can coexist with cumulative pressure on household budgets. One observation cannot demonstrate a sustained trend.
The next signal
Follow later releases and regional differences without assuming a cause that the data do not establish.
