How we compare prices

Regular gasoline only. We compare the region 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 region trend.

Yesterday: Oct 21, 2026: $6.084/gal, 1299 locations. Last month: Sep 22, 2026: $5.905/gal, 67 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.

Across the bay, Peninsula and inland valleys

The Bay Area combines shoreline cities, the Peninsula, North Bay communities and inland East Bay valleys. Bridges, hills and the bay itself make road distance more useful than a straight-line comparison.

Plan across the region

Choose the part of the Bay Area your trip uses before comparing fuel. Include any necessary crossing and its costs when deciding whether a stop on the opposite shore is worthwhile.
