SHREVEPORT, La. — Average gasoline prices in Shreveport increased 12.6 cents per gallon over the past week to $3.91 per gallon, according to a survey of 177 stations by GasBuddy.
Gas prices in the city are now 23.4 cents higher than a month ago and $1.33 higher than the same period last year, according to the report released Monday.
The lowest-priced gasoline station in Shreveport was selling fuel for $3.63 per gallon Sunday, while the highest-priced station was at $4.29 per gallon, a spread of 66 cents. Across Louisiana, prices ranged from $3.48 to $5.19 per gallon.
Nationally, the average gasoline price rose 5.1 cents over the past week to $4.48 per gallon. The national average is up 37.3 cents from a month ago and $1.40 higher than a year ago. The national average diesel price increased 0.2 cents to $5.623 per gallon.
Neighboring regional markets also posted increases. Average prices in Little Rock rose 8.1 cents to $3.99 per gallon, while Dallas prices climbed 7.3 cents to $4.04 per gallon. Louisiana’s statewide average increased 11.2 cents to $3.98 per gallon.
Historical data from GasBuddy showed Shreveport gasoline prices averaged $2.57 per gallon on May 11, 2025, compared with $4.00 per gallon on the same date in 2022.
“Average gasoline prices declined in just six states over the last week, led by the Great Lakes region, where motorists in states like Michigan and Ohio saw prices fall sharply, while Indiana experienced even steeper relief after the state temporarily waived both its excise and use taxes on gasoline,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a statement.
De Haan said lower oil prices earlier in the week briefly pushed the national average down, but renewed concerns over stalled U.S.-Iran negotiations and rising oil prices could lead to another round of gasoline price increases.
“As a result, many states could see another round of price cycling in the days ahead, potentially sending the national average toward the $4.65-per-gallon mark if oil continues climbing,” he said.
GasBuddy said diesel prices in parts of the Great Lakes region are also nearing record highs because of refinery disruptions affecting diesel production.
