WASHINGTON, DC (August 13, 2026) – The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is back on the rise after a week of falling prices. Today’s national average is back up to $4.07 after dropping to $4.00 on Monday. Crude oil prices are once again in the $80 per barrel range amid continued uncertainty along the Strait of Hormuz. While gasoline demand is down, crude oil prices are keeping pump prices higher than normal for this time of year. So far, this is the highest August on record when it comes to the national gasoline average.
The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station stayed the same this past week at 42 cents.
