Why Are Gas Prices Rising or Falling?

You've compared fuel prices across the United States. The next question is why those prices change. One of the biggest influences is the price of crude oil. Our Crude Oil to Gasoline Price Calculator demonstrates how changes in crude oil prices can ripple through the fuel supply chain and eventually affect the price you pay at the pump.

Did you know? Crude oil typically represents the largest component of the retail price of gasoline, but refining costs, transportation, taxes, seasonal fuel blends, and local competition also influence what drivers pay in each state.
Want to Better Understand Gasoline, Diesel & Crude Oil?

Fuel prices don't change by chance. They are influenced by crude oil markets, refining capacity, transportation costs, fuel taxes, seasonal demand, weather events, and global economic conditions. If you want to understand why prices differ from state to state and how to interpret the results of this tool, our comprehensive guide is an excellent next step.

You'll also discover how one barrel of crude oil becomes gasoline and diesel, why diesel often costs more than gasoline, the factors that influence prices at the pump, and test your knowledge with an interactive quiz.
