Sources and method
- AAA gas prices, metro and state averages · 2026-11-06
How we got this. A city is AAA's daily average for a gallon of regular in its own metro area. A state is AAA's statewide average, the same survey as every city and the national figure, so the whole list compares one source. A city AAA doesn't list reads grey rather than borrowing its state's price. Cities and states each rank on their own list, cheapest first. It refreshes daily from AAA.
Rankings by The Honest Local from public data, one page per list, refreshed on each source’s own cycle. Places with no reading are left out rather than estimated. Every value on this page carries its source in the page’s structured data.
