WASHINGTON, DC (April 24, 2025) – The national average for a gallon of regular is slightly higher than a week ago and 5 cents higher than a month ago. An increase in demand – as the weather gets nicer and more people get out and about – is pushing prices up slightly. But at $3.17, the national average remains well below what drivers were paying this time last year. That’s because the price of crude oil is on the lower side at $62 a barrel compared to $82 a barrel one year ago.
The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station stayed the same this past week at 34 cents.
