SHREVEPORT, La. — Average gasoline prices in Shreveport declined over the past week, but remain significantly higher compared to both a month and a year ago, according to data released Monday by GasBuddy.
Prices fell 6.7 cents per gallon to an average of $3.67 per gallon, based on a survey of 177 stations in the area. Despite the weekly decline, prices are 38.8 cents higher than a month ago and $1.00 per gallon above levels recorded one year ago.
GasBuddy reported a wide range of prices across the city, with the lowest-priced station at $3.45 per gallon and the highest at $3.99, a spread of 54 cents. Statewide, prices ranged from $3.39 to $4.55 per gallon.
Nationally, the average price of gasoline held steady at $4.07 per gallon, up 39.1 cents from a month ago and 93.4 cents higher than a year earlier. The national average price of diesel rose 4.1 cents over the past week to $5.617 per gallon.
In neighboring markets, prices showed mixed movement. Little Rock recorded an average of $3.65 per gallon, up 2.4 cents from the prior week. Dallas saw a sharper decline, falling 15.6 cents to $3.69 per gallon. Across Louisiana, the statewide average dipped 3.0 cents to $3.73 per gallon.
Historical data indicates continued volatility in fuel prices. On April 13, 2025, gasoline in Shreveport averaged $2.66 per gallon, compared to $3.67 this year. Prices were $3.06 in 2024 and $3.27 in 2023.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said recent price fluctuations have been driven by global oil market developments. “Average gasoline prices surged for many Americans through the first half of last week before easing in some areas after oil prices slipped following President Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire,” De Haan said. “However, with a breakdown in talks and renewed escalation over the weekend, motorists should prepare for another round of price increases.”
He added that concerns over a potential blockade of the Strait of Hormuz are contributing to supply uncertainty and pushing oil prices higher, which could translate into rising fuel costs in the near term.
GasBuddy, a PDI Technologies company, compiles its data from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations nationwide.
