SHREVEPORT, La. — Gasoline prices in Shreveport rose more than 21 cents per gallon over the past week, pushing the local average to $3.65 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.
The average increased 21.3 cents per gallon based on a GasBuddy survey of 177 stations in Shreveport. Despite the weekly increase, prices remain 1.7 cents per gallon below their level a month ago. They are $1.08 per gallon higher than a year ago.
GasBuddy reported Shreveport prices ranging from $3.35 to $3.99 per gallon Sunday, a difference of 64 cents. Across Louisiana, prices ranged from $3.29 to $4.45 per gallon, a difference of $1.16.
Louisiana’s statewide average was $3.67 per gallon, up 15.6 cents from $3.52 a week earlier.
The national average increased 2.9 cents during the week to $4.05 per gallon. That is 5 cents below the national average a month ago but 92.6 cents higher than a year ago. GasBuddy’s national figures are compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering more than 150,000 stations.
Diesel prices posted a larger increase, with the national average climbing 16.6 cents in a week to $5.584 per gallon.
Regional prices varied. Little Rock, Arkansas, averaged $3.64 per gallon, down 6.5 cents from a week earlier, while Dallas averaged $3.54, down 20.9 cents.
Shreveport’s current average is also substantially above levels recorded on the same date in recent years. The city’s average was $2.57 per gallon in 2025, $2.79 in 2024, $3.28 in 2023, $3.25 in 2022 and $2.73 in 2021.
Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said most states experienced increases during the past week and that diesel prices are approaching record levels.
“Average gasoline prices moved higher in the majority of states over the last week, with fewer than 10 states seeing declines, while diesel surged nearly 17 cents per gallon nationally, leaving it less than 25 cents away from an all-time record high,” De Haan said.
De Haan said the national gasoline average is at its highest level recorded this late in the year and could remain above $4 per gallon through Labor Day. He attributed pressure on fuel prices in part to reduced Russian refinery capacity and constraints on the global supply of refined fuels.
“Until that refining supply picture improves, both gasoline and diesel prices face continued upward pressure,” De Haan said.
