SHREVEPORT, La. — Average gasoline prices in Shreveport fell 0.7 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.25 per gallon Monday, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 177 stations in the area. Prices are 8.9 cents lower than a month ago and 29.9 cents lower than a year ago.
The lowest reported price in Shreveport on Sunday was $2.04 per gallon, while the highest reached $2.99, a difference of 95 cents. Across Louisiana, prices ranged from $2.00 to $3.33 per gallon.
Nationally, the average price of gasoline dropped 0.8 cents per gallon to $2.73. The average is 17 cents lower than a month ago and 28.9 cents below year-ago levels. The national average price of diesel declined 2.3 cents last week to $3.48 per gallon.
Among nearby cities, prices stood at $2.25 in Little Rock, down 6.1 cents; $2.46 in Dallas, up 21.2 cents; and $2.35 across Louisiana, down 0.6 cents from a week earlier.
“Gas prices nationally saw little change over the last week, though several price-cycling states did experience notable jumps,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “The good news is that once prices rise in these markets, they often retreat for a week or longer afterward. While the situation in Venezuela has dominated headlines, it’s far too early for any measurable impact on what consumers are paying at the pump.”
Historical data show Shreveport prices at $2.55 per gallon a year ago, $2.72 in 2024, and $2.82 in 2023. The U.S. average was $3.02, $3.07, and $3.25, respectively.
GasBuddy, a PDI Technologies company, collects data from more than 150,000 gas stations nationwide and updates prices frequently using spotter reports, direct station data, and transactional information.
