WASHINGTON, DC (July 30, 2026) – The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is the same as it was last week: $4.09. Crude oil prices remain in the $80 per barrel range as instability lingers along the Strait of Hormuz. Gas prices are nearly a dollar higher than they were this time last year. But elevated crude oil prices could prevent that seasonal shift from starting just yet. The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station stayed the same this past week at 42 cents.
