EIA's areas, highest to lowest

Only EIA's own areas are ranked: the 9 states with their own series and the 7 regions the other states are shown with. A state shown at its region's average has no rank of its own. Changes compare with the week of Sept. 14, 2026 and the week of Sept. 22, 2025, 52 weeks earlier, matched by date.

State gas taxes, 2024

State per-gallon gasoline tax, cents per gallon, FHWA's 2024 reporting period. The federal tax is on top of it in every state.

Cents per gallon

  • Step 1 of 5, lightest: 8 to under 23
  • Step 2 of 5, shade: 23 to under 26
  • Step 3 of 5, shade: 26 to under 30
  • Step 4 of 5, shade: 30 to under 36
  • Step 5 of 5, strongest: 36 to 60
  • See note: Massachusetts and Utah
  • Federal gas tax: 18.4 cents per gallon in every state (18.3 cents excise plus a 0.1 cent Leaking Underground Storage Tank fee), effective Oct. 1, 1997.
  • Massachusetts: see note. FHWA's table prints 0.24 in its cents-per-gallon column, where every other state is 8.0 or more; that looks like dollars, but the table does not say so, so no figure is shown.
  • Utah: see note. FHWA's table prints 0.31 in its cents-per-gallon column, where every other state is 8.0 or more; that looks like dollars, but the table does not say so, so no figure is shown.
  • Per-gallon state taxes only. The table leaves out percentage (sales-type) taxes and local taxes, which the weekly prices include.
  • Taxes are one reason prices differ by state; others EIA names include distance from supply, supply disruptions, retail competition and operating costs (EIA, Regional gasoline price differences).
