Regular gasoline in the Lower Atlantic region is currently priced at $3.725 per gallon, down $0.038 from last week as crude oil prices hold relatively steady. This price level is typical for early summer in PADD 1C, which includes North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, reflecting both regional demand and the transition into peak driving season. Compared to historical June averages, prices remain moderate, though drivers should expect typical seasonal upward pressure as we head into July.
At $3.725 per gallon, a typical 15-gallon fill-up in the Lower Atlantic costs about $55.88, roughly in line with national averages and $0.10 below the Brent-influenced East Coast premium seen in winter months. Diesel prices are running notably higher at $4.831 per gallon, a spread of about $1.11 above regular gasoline that reflects stronger industrial and transportation demand. This price difference is meaningful for truck owners and commercial operators who rely on diesel fuel across the region's growing logistics corridors.
The Lower Atlantic region's gas prices are shaped by its reliance on colonial pipeline deliveries from the Gulf Coast and in-state refining capacity, particularly in North Carolina, which limits supply disruptions from weather or infrastructure outages. State fuel taxes vary across the three states, with Georgia at 29.4 cents per gallon, North Carolina at 38.6 cents, and South Carolina at 25.3 cents, creating price disparities that savvy drivers sometimes exploit by crossing state lines for fill-ups. Seasonal demand from beach tourism and regional agricultural activity also influences prices, particularly in June when vacation travel picks up ahead of the July 4th holiday.
Current WTI crude at $92.16 per barrel and Brent at $93.76 suggest pump prices should remain stable to slightly lower over the next two to six weeks, as the recent $0.038 weekly decline reflects crude moderating from earlier highs. Refineries in the Lower Atlantic typically see crude-to-pump lag of about 3 to 4 weeks, meaning any sustained shift in crude direction will appear at the pump in early July. If crude continues its recent sideways trend, drivers can expect prices to hold in the $3.70-$3.75 range through late June.
💡 Money-Saving Tip: Drivers in the Lower Atlantic should fill up on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when regional prices typically bottom out before weekend demand pushes them higher, and consider using the GetPumpRate app to find the lowest prices across state lines—especially worth checking when near the Georgia-North Carolina border where taxes differ by 9 cents per gallon. Loyalty programs at chains like Speedway and Murphy USA often offer 5 to 10 cent per gallon discounts, and E85 ethanol blends (where available) can be 30-50 cents cheaper, though they sacrifice fuel economy by about 25 percent.
Prices in the Lower Atlantic are likely to hold steady or drift slightly higher into early July as summer demand builds and if crude stabilizes around current levels, though any spike would depend on tropical weather developments affecting Gulf Coast refining. Watch for typical mid-July price peaks as Fourth of July holiday travel wraps up and monitor weekly crude movements, as even small swings tend to cascade quickly through the colonial pipeline system that supplies the region.
Regular gasoline in Lower Atlantic (PADD 1C) currently averages $3.725 per gallon, down $0.038 from last week. Prices are sourced weekly from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and reflect averages across retail stations in the region.
