Gas Price (Regular) — United States
Analysis# US Regular Gas Price Analysis (1991–2025)
Gas prices have roughly tripled from their 1998 low of $1.03/gallon to the current $3.097/gallon, reflecting structural shifts in global oil markets and geopolitical volatility rather than a simple linear increase. The 2022 peak of $3.951/gallon coincided with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and represents the highest nominal price in the 34-year span, though inflation-adjusted prices likely exceed this during the 2008 financial crisis peak. Current prices at $3.097/gallon remain 21% below the 2022 record but 201% above the 1998
