Missouri drivers pay 8th lowest gas price in the country
Missouri drivers are seeing a dip in gas prices across the state, with the statewide average currently at $3.12, and a six-cent drop compared to this time last year. The statewide gas price average in Missouri is $3.12 per gallon, four cents less than the previous day compared to last week, and six cents less per gallon compared to the same day last year. This comes as the summer driving season begins and fewer drivers are on Missouri roads, leading to potential for a decrease in gas prices across the state. The AAA Missouri Weekend Gas Watch reports that the current average price for unleaded fuel in Missouri stands at $4.12, compared to a national average price of $3.,49 per gallon. The highest recorded average price in Missouri was on June 16, 2022, when the average gas price per gallon was $5.18.

MISSOURI – With the summer driving season underway and fewer drivers on Missouri roads, drivers may see a dip in gas prices across the state.
The statewide gas price average in Missouri is currently $3.12 for a gallon of unleaded fuel, which is four cents less compared to this day last week, according to the AAA Missouri Weekend Gas Watch.
This price is also six cents less per gallon compared to this day last year. Compared to other states, Missouri ranks eighth for the lowest gas price average in the country, according to AAA Gas Prices.
“Missouri drivers are seeing year-over-year savings at the pump, good news for those planning summer road trips,” Nick Chabarria, an AAA spokesperson, said. “If crude continues to fall, motorists could see pump prices drop lower just as we enter the peak summer driving season.”
