SHREVEPORT, La. — Average gasoline prices in Shreveport fell 5 cents per gallon over the past week, averaging $3.53 per gallon Monday, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 177 stations in the city.
Prices in Shreveport are 1.5 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and 89.7 cents higher than a year ago.
The cheapest station in Shreveport was priced at $3.33 per gallon Sunday, while the most expensive was $3.99, a difference of 66 cents per gallon. Statewide, prices ranged from $3.18 to $4.55 per gallon.
The national average price of gasoline rose 7 cents per gallon over the past week to $4.04 per gallon. That is up 5.7 cents from a month ago and 94.3 cents from a year ago, based on GasBuddy data from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering more than 150,000 stations.
The national average price of diesel fell 9.2 cents from a week ago to $5.408 per gallon.
Nearby, Little Rock prices averaged $3.61 per gallon, up 3.8 cents from last week. Dallas averaged $3.69, up 19.6 cents. Louisiana’s statewide average was $3.62, down 1.8 cents.
“Average gasoline prices rose in 39 states over the last week, with the national average moving higher, while diesel prices declined in most states, offering a brief divergence at the pump,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “However, that divergence may prove short-lived. Oil prices have been climbing again as markets react to renewed geopolitical tensions and the cancellation of talks between the U.S. and Iran. As a result, gasoline prices are set to rise further this week, with diesel expected to follow. Many inland states — including those in the Great Lakes and Plains — could see average gas prices climb to their highest levels since 2022, while price-cycling markets may also experience another round of hikes in the next few days.”
