About GetPumpRate
Free, data-driven fuel price tracking for US drivers
What is GetPumpRate?
GetPumpRate is a free, independent energy price dashboard that tracks live crude oil benchmark prices (WTI and Brent) and weekly retail gasoline prices across 19 US regions — from the national average down to individual states and PADD districts.
We built GetPumpRate because fuel costs affect every American household and business, yet the data was scattered across government databases that are difficult to navigate. Our goal is to surface that data in a clean, real-time dashboard — no paywalls, no signup required.
Where does the data come from?
All retail gasoline price data on GetPumpRate is sourced directly from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Open Data API. The EIA is an official US government agency that collects, analyzes, and disseminates independent energy information.
EIA publishes weekly retail fuel price averages every Monday. These averages are collected from thousands of retail stations across the country and represent a reliable, authoritative source of pump prices.
Crude oil prices (WTI and Brent) are also sourced from EIA's weekly petroleum data series. These reflect spot prices for West Texas Intermediate crude at Cushing, Oklahoma (WTI) and North Sea crude (Brent), the two most widely referenced global oil benchmarks.
How often does the data update?
The dashboard refreshes every 60 seconds. However, the underlying retail gasoline price data from EIA is updated weekly — every Monday morning. Crude oil prices update more frequently within EIA's weekly petroleum report cycle.
The live refresh ensures you always see the latest available EIA data, but significant price movements in retail pump prices will generally only appear when EIA publishes its next weekly report.
What regions are covered?
GetPumpRate covers 19 US regions, including:
- U.S. National Average
- 5 PADD Districts (East Coast, Midwest, Gulf Coast, Rocky Mountain, West Coast)
- PADD 1 sub-districts (New England, Central Atlantic, Lower Atlantic)
- Individual states where EIA publishes weekly data: California, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington, and more
Coverage is limited to regions for which the EIA publishes regular weekly data series. Not all US states are included because EIA does not publish weekly retail price data for every state.
Who built GetPumpRate?
GetPumpRate is an independent project built by developers who wanted a cleaner way to track fuel costs. It is not affiliated with the EIA, any oil company, or any fuel retailer. We do not sell fuel, and we do not provide investment advice.
