"Our mission is simple: take government energy data that's publicly available but hard to read, and make it instantly useful for the millions of Americans who fill up every week."
What We Do
Will Gas Prices Drop tracks the US national average gas price and regional prices using weekly data published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) — the official federal agency responsible for collecting and reporting energy statistics.
Every Monday, the EIA releases its weekly petroleum report. We pull that data automatically and present it in a clear, visual format alongside context about what's driving prices — whether that's geopolitical events, refinery capacity, crude oil futures, or seasonal demand shifts.
We also provide forward-looking forecasts based on commodity market data, analyst estimates, and geopolitical developments — helping you plan ahead rather than just react.
Why We Built This
Gas prices affect every American household. A $1/gallon swing costs the average driver $500–$800/year. Yet most coverage of gas prices is either buried in technical government reports or oversimplified in news headlines that lack the data behind the story.
We built this site because we believe everyone deserves access to clear, accurate, data-driven information about what they're paying at the pump — and why.
Our Data Sources
U.S. Energy Information Administration
All gas price data comes directly from EIA's weekly retail gasoline price survey, the most authoritative source for US pump prices. Data covers national, regional, and state-level averages.
EIA API v2
We connect to EIA's public API (api.eia.gov) in real time to retrieve the latest weekly data as soon as it's published each Monday. No data is manually entered or estimated.
Commodity & Futures Markets
Price forecasts are informed by Brent crude and WTI futures data, refinery utilization reports, and OPEC+ production schedules.
Geopolitical Analysis
Context articles draw on reporting from Reuters, the Wall Street Journal, and official government statements to explain the real-world events driving price movements.
Accuracy & Limitations
All price data displayed on this site reflects the most recent weekly EIA survey, which lags real-time pump prices by 3–7 days. Forecasts are estimates based on available market data and should not be treated as financial advice.
The EIA's weekly survey covers a subset of US states — approximately 21 states that represent the highest-traffic markets. Other states may not be represented in the weekly data.
