SHREVEPORT, La. — Average gasoline prices in Shreveport rose 25.5 cents per gallon over the past week, reaching $3.78 per gallon, according to a survey of 177 stations by GasBuddy.
The latest price is 6.8 cents higher than a month ago and $1.21 above the level recorded a year earlier. Price variation across the city remains wide, with the lowest-priced station at $3.65 per gallon and the highest at $4.19, a spread of 54 cents.

Nationally, gasoline prices increased 38.2 cents per gallon over the past week to an average of $4.42 per gallon. That figure is up 32.6 cents from a month ago and $1.31 higher than the same time last year. Diesel prices also climbed, rising 21.3 cents over the past week to $5.621 per gallon.
In neighboring markets, prices also moved higher. Little Rock averaged $3.91 per gallon, up 29.3 cents from last week. Dallas reported an average of $3.96 per gallon, a 27.2-cent increase, while the Louisiana statewide average rose 24.2 cents to $3.86 per gallon.
Historical data shows significant volatility in recent years. On May 4, 2025, Shreveport’s average price stood at $2.57 per gallon, compared with $3.15 in 2024 and $3.02 in 2023. Prices reached $3.82 in 2022 before declining in 2021 to $2.63 per gallon.
“Gasoline prices rose in every state over the last week, with some of the most significant and fastest increases concentrated in the Great Lakes, where states like Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois saw sharp spikes, while Wisconsin experienced more modest gains,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “At the same time, diesel prices surged to new records in parts of the region, with some areas touching the $6-per-gallon mark. While refinery outages were a key driver behind those outsized increases, early signs of improvement could help ease some of the most extreme price pressures in the Great Lakes in the days ahead. Beyond the region, markets are also digesting a wave of new developments— including OPEC+ raising production for June and President Trump outlining a plan to free stranded ships— which could help restore some supply. However, with so many moving pieces, the outlook remains highly fluid, and while some localized relief may emerge, broader price volatility is likely to persist in the near term.”
