EIA's October 6 release lists US regular gasoline at $4.354 per gallon and on-highway diesel at $6.199 for October 5. Both are below September 28 levels. Prices include taxes and are national weekly estimates, not a quote for every station.

EIA's weekly retail fuel table, released October 6, 2026, reports national prices for October 5. Regular gasoline was $4.354 per gallon, compared with $4.465 on September 28. On-highway diesel was $6.199, compared with $6.382 a week earlier. Both series declined. The all-grades gasoline average was $4.496 per gallon, down from $4.603 on September 28. All grades includes more than regular gasoline, so the two averages should not be substituted for one another. For regular gasoline, the conventional-area price was $4.157 and the reformulated-area price was $4.773 on October 5. EIA distinguishes areas where reformulated gasoline is required from areas where it is not. Different fuel specifications and geography help explain why a national average does not match every local pump. These are weekly retail price estimates in dollars per gallon, including taxes. They are not wholesale prices, futures settlements or an assurance of a particular price at a station. The table does not establish a single cause for the week's price changes. The diesel all-types and ultra-low-sulfur series both show $6.199 for October 5. They are not two separate price moves to count twice. EIA's notes explain that the national on-highway diesel average is fully represented by ultra-low-sulfur diesel. Source: EIA, Weekly Retail Gasoline and Diesel Prices, October 6 release.
