Average Price: Gasoline, Unleaded Regular (Cost per Gallon) in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA (APUS49A74714)

The average price for unleaded regular gasoline in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area is significantly higher than the U.S. national average and most other states, a trend influenced by regional supply factors, taxes, and environmental regulations.

💡 Understanding the Price Gap

The substantial price difference between Los Angeles and the national average is consistent over time. This is due to several key factors:

  • State-Specific Regulations: California has a unique gasoline blend designed to reduce air pollution, which is more expensive to produce than the gasoline used in most other states. This limits supply sources, especially during refinery outages.
  • Higher Taxes: California has some of the highest state gasoline taxes and fees in the nation, which are directly factored into the price at the pump.
  • Supply and Demand Dynamics: The Los Angeles area is a densely populated region with high demand for gasoline. When there are supply disruptions or seasonal changes, the tight supply chain can lead to sharper price increases compared to other regions.
