Regular gasoline in the West Coast region outside California is currently priced at $4.844 per gallon, down $0.111 from last week as crude oil prices stabilize in the low $90s per barrel. This price level remains notably higher than the national average, reflecting the geographic isolation of PADD 5 and limited refinery capacity serving Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. The weekly decline suggests some relief at the pump after recent volatility, though prices remain well above typical summer patterns for this region.
For drivers filling a typical 15-gallon tank with regular gasoline, the current cost is approximately $72.66, compared to $73.98 last week—a modest weekly savings of about $1.32 per fill-up. The $0.675 spread between regular and diesel reflects strong demand for heavy-duty fuels in the region's agricultural and logistics sectors. At $4.844, regular gasoline here runs roughly 50–75 cents above the national average, a premium driven by limited pipeline access and reliance on marine fuel imports from California refineries.
West Coast fuel supply depends heavily on a small number of refineries in the Puget Sound area and marine deliveries from California, making the region vulnerable to supply disruptions and refinery maintenance schedules. Washington and Oregon's strict fuel quality standards and low-volatility gasoline blends add processing costs compared to federal-minimum fuel, pushing retail prices higher year-round. Seasonal demand from outdoor recreation, agriculture, and summer travel peaks in June through August, naturally supporting higher wholesale and retail prices during this period.
With WTI crude at $92.16 and Brent at $93.76 per barrel, refiners are passing through modest wholesale costs, though pump prices typically lag crude changes by 2–6 weeks as inventory and futures pricing adjust. The recent $0.111 weekly drop at the pump reflects a modest softening in crude futures over the past two weeks, signaling that wholesale costs have begun easing into the supply chain. Further moves in crude oil will likely show up at regional pumps by early July.
💡 Money-Saving Tip: Fill up on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings when wholesale restocking typically occurs and retail prices tend to be lowest in the week; avoid Friday and weekend fill-ups when leisure driving pushes demand higher. Take advantage of loyalty programs at major chains like Shell or Chevron in Washington and Oregon, which often offer 5–10 cent per gallon discounts and track savings over time.
With crude oil holding steady below $94 per barrel and no major refinery outages reported in the region, prices are likely to remain range-bound or drift slightly lower through the end of June. Watch for summer demand pickup and any supply news from Puget Sound refineries, as unplanned maintenance could quickly push prices back toward $5.00 per gallon for regular unleaded.
