FuelPriceScout helps U.S. drivers and homeowners pay less for gas, diesel and propane. We turn official price data into simple answers: what fuel costs in your state this week, the cheapest days to fill up, where the nearest stations are and which discounts are actually worth it.
What you’ll find here
- Weekly prices for regular, midgrade, premium and diesel, by state and region, from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
- A price map of every state, updated each week.
- A gas station finder that shows the stations closest to any ZIP code, with directions.
- Free calculators, including a trip cost calculator that uses your car’s official EPA gas mileage.
- Honest guides to rewards programs, warehouse clubs and propane tanks, checked against official sources.
How we work
- Official sources first. Our prices come from public sources such as the EIA and AAA, and every number shows its date. Read more on Our Data.
- Updated every week. We refresh prices after the EIA publishes its weekly survey, usually on Mondays.
- Plain English. Short answers first, details after.
- Independent. We don’t sell fuel, and no gas station, retailer or rewards program pays us to be mentioned.
What we don’t do
We don’t show live prices for individual stations, because there is no free official source for them in the U.S. Instead, we show reliable averages so you know what a fair price is, and our map helps you find stations near you.
Who runs FuelPriceScout
FuelPriceScout is run by Nathan Brooks. It started in September 2026 with a simple frustration: gas prices were climbing fast, and most sites either showed a single national number or wanted you to download an app before telling you anything useful.
So the site does things a little differently. Every Monday the U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes its new price survey. Nathan goes through it, checks what changed by region and state, and writes it up in plain English in the weekly gas price report: what moved, why, and what he would do about it at the pump that week.
The calculators and guides come from the same habit of checking the numbers. The trip calculator uses your car’s official EPA mileage. The propane tools use EIA heating-season prices and manufacturers’ published fuel-use figures. Where we couldn’t find an official number, we say so instead of guessing.
Gas and propane
Many households pay for both. That’s why FuelPriceScout also covers home propane: what it costs in your state this winter, how long a tank lasts, whether a leased or owned tank makes more sense, and where to get help paying the bill. During the heating season we post a weekly propane update as well.
Corrections
Prices change and programs end. If you spot something out of date or wrong, tell us and we’ll fix it, usually within a few days. Every page shows when it was last reviewed.
