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: $6.029/gal, 508 locations. Last month: Sep 22, 2026: $6.099/gal, 4 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.

WorthStop groups Sacramento, Yolo, Placer and El Dorado counties in this index. It therefore combines capital-region communities with foothill and Tahoe-area destinations, beyond the immediate Sacramento urban area.

Plan across the region

For Sacramento Area travel, select the valley, foothill or mountain destination before comparing fuel. Verify current mountain conditions separately when your trip heads toward Tahoe.
