Are gas prices getting better or worse for your household right now?

Vermont's average gasoline price fell to $4.29 per gallon, down 4 cents from last week and 13 cents from last month. The state average remains $1.18 per gallon above this time last year.

Why it matters

Lower pump prices offer relief to Vermont drivers, but the year-over-year increase shows costs remain elevated. Prices are falling across nearly every state as refinery maintenance wraps up and seasonal demand fades.

GasBuddy's survey found Vermont's average at $4.29 per gallon against a national average of $4.10, with diesel nationally at $6.25 per gallon. Future price moves remain unclear as geopolitical factors could drive volatility.

The details

Gasoline prices fell in nearly every state over the past week as refinery maintenance wrapped up and demand eased with cooler weather. Prices in Vermont's counties ranged from $4.14 in Bennington County to $4.39 in Washington and Orange counties, with Chittenden County at $4.34.

Market Landscape

GasBuddy's weekly survey of more than 150,000 gas stations shows prices falling across nearly every state this week, with the national average down 12 cents to $4.10 per gallon. Vermont's year-over-year increase of $1.18 per gallon indicates the state remains well above last year's level despite recent declines.

Vermont drivers paying $4.29 per gallon are spending less than a week ago but more than last year, so fuel budgets remain tighter than before. Drivers in Bennington County pay about 15 cents less per gallon than those in Burlington, so fill-up location can matter.

The takeaway

Gas prices typically drop as winter blend fuel replaces summer blend and refinery work ends, but geopolitical events can quickly reverse the trend. Checking prices across nearby stations before filling up can help stretch a household budget.

What happens next

Gasoline prices are expected to be shaped by geopolitical developments around the Strait of Hormuz and Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries as the holidays approach.
