U.S. gasoline prices increased across all fuel grades in February 2026 when compared with the month before. Regular gasoline prices rose to an average of 2.91 U.S. dollars per gallon. In the period under consideration, gasoline prices reached their highest level in June 2022.

Differences in fuel grades

Fuel grades at U.S. gas stations are differentiated by octane level. Higher grade fuels have higher octane levels, meaning that the fuel can be compressed more in the engine. This enables high-performance engines to create more power. Fuel may also vary from state to state and pump to pump. Some cities also have regulations on gasoline in order to improve air quality. Bioethanol is added to gasoline in some cases to meet the renewable fuel standard. Gasoline-run engines are able to run on blends with a bioethanol percentage of up to 25 percent.

Gasoline prices reach historic high

Primarily a result of the Russia-Ukraine war and inflation, the annual retail price of gasoline reached a new historic high in 2022, climbing to nearly four U.S. dollars per gallon. By 2024, annual prices had decreased again slightly, reaching 2014 levels.
