Irvine gas prices
$6.11 / gal Regular average · 28 locations
How we compare prices
Regular gasoline only. We compare the city average today with its average yesterday and on the same date last month. Each average uses the available stations at that time, with prices no more than 36 hours old. The mix of stations and payment conditions can change, so this is an indicative city trend.
Yesterday: Oct 21, 2026: $6.212/gal, 28 locations. Last month: Sep 22, 2026: 0 locations. Cutoffs use the same local time in California; a shorter month uses its last day. Monthly comparisons need at least 3 stations on each date; daily comparisons need 12. Past averages are reconstructed from recorded observations.

Campus and business trips in a planned city
Irvine is a planned Orange County city with university campuses and a large technology business presence. A trip to UC Irvine and a visit to a business address can involve different local approaches. The fuel sample should help you judge a price, while your destination determines which stations are practical.
Keep campus parking separate from refueling
Enter the intended building or parking destination for the drive, then compare a fuel stop along that route. If you compare Irvine with neighboring cities, retain the same purchase amount and fuel grade. A different city label does not by itself mean a worthwhile detour.

Catalog locations and recent price observations are different measures. Records here use the Irvine city address label; this is not a census of every station within the municipal boundary. Separately named neighborhoods may appear on their own pages.
Store, food and opening-hours information is not yet recorded for this sample.
Missing details mean unknown information, not that a service is absent. Recorded amenities and hours can change. Known restricted sites are excluded from this catalog count; access at other sites may still be unconfirmed. Check the individual location before traveling.

Why your route still matters
A city average cannot identify the stop worth making. WorthStop ranks eligible stops for the route using the selected fuel grade, gallons, vehicle MPG and extra driving required.
