I just checked the latest fuel price data in the United States, and the truth is there are huge differences depending on where you live. While some states pay almost double others, the national average continues to rise due to international factors and seasonal changes.

According to reports from March 9, the national average price of regular gasoline reached $3.48 per gallon. But if you look at the different types of gasoline in the US, it gets more interesting: mid-grade gasoline was at $3.98, premium at $4.34, and diesel reached $4.66. E85 was the most affordable option at $2.76.

The crazy part is the regional gap. California leads the ranking with $5.20 per gallon, while Texas barely reaches $3.13. Washington, Hawaii, and Oregon are also quite high. This reflects how gasoline types in the US vary not only by type but also by geographic location.

Spring always drives up prices because demand increases and fuel blends change. Compared to March last year when it was $3.11, we see a significant increase. The highest recorded historically was on June 14, 2022, with $5.02 per gallon, so we haven't reached that peak yet.
