Gas Prices Fall Across Midwest, South States Amid July-August 2025

Gasoline prices across several U.S. states have seen modest declines over the past week, with Indiana's average price dropping 10 cents per gallon to $3.13, which is 33.5 cents lower than a year ago, though slightly higher than last month. In the Tri-States area, prices have fallen statewide, with averages of $2.89 in Iowa, $3.38 in Illinois, and $2.84 in Missouri, while diesel prices also dropped to $3.71 per gallon. Virginia reported a 6.1-cent decrease to an average of $3.02 per gallon, remaining just above last month's level but over 31 cents less than last year, alongside a slight diesel price decrease. Georgia's gas prices fell by one cent to $2.90 per gallon, attributed to stable crude oil prices in the mid-$60s per barrel and ongoing production increases by OPEC+, though gasoline demand and production have slightly decreased. Nationally, gasoline prices have generally declined modestly, with the average price around $3.08 to $3.14 per gallon, reflecting the influence of crude oil price stability, production levels, and gasoline demand fluctuations. Electric vehicle charging rates have remained steady nationally, with Georgia's rates slightly above the average, illustrating continued focus on alternative fueling costs amid fuel price changes.
