Gas Prices Continue Rising in Nevada

The average price of a gallon of gasoline in Nevada has increased 16 cents over the past week, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA). While the rise is notable, it is smaller than the national average increase of 27 cents per gallon.

AAA officials say the ongoing conflict with Iran has pushed crude oil prices to around $70 a barrel, contributing to higher fuel costs nationwide. The current national average for a gallon of gas is now comparable to April 2025.

In Nevada, prices vary by city. Las Vegas drivers are paying an average of $3.90 per gallon, while Reno motorists are facing an average of $4.26 per gallon, reflecting higher costs in northern parts of the state.

With the average gasoline price at $3.87 per gallon, Nevada now ranks among the top five most expensive fuel markets in the United States, according to the latest data.

California continues to lead the nation with an average of $4.81 per gallon, followed by Washington ($4.44) and Hawaii ($4.43). On the other end of the spectrum, the least expensive states include Oklahoma ($2.79), Mississippi ($2.81), and Kansas ($2.83).
