SHREVEPORT, La. — Average gasoline prices in Shreveport rose 13.4 cents per gallon over the past week to $3.81 per gallon Monday, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 177 stations in the area.
Prices are 37.5 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and $1.09 per gallon higher than a year ago.
GasBuddy reported that the cheapest gasoline in Shreveport was $3.59 per gallon Sunday, while the most expensive was $4.19, a difference of 60 cents. Statewide, prices ranged from $3.33 to $4.99 per gallon.
The national average for gasoline increased 17.2 cents over the past week to $4.25 per gallon. That is 19 cents higher than a month ago and $1.14 higher than a year ago. GasBuddy compiles its national average from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering more than 150,000 gas stations.
Diesel prices also increased sharply. The national average rose 31.6 cents over the past week to $6.183 per gallon.
Gasoline prices in Shreveport are substantially higher than they were on the same date in recent years. The city’s average was $2.72 per gallon on Sept. 14, 2025, $2.62 in 2024, $3.32 in 2023, $3.03 in 2022 and $2.76 in 2021.
Prices also increased across neighboring markets. Little Rock, Arkansas, averaged $3.88 per gallon, up 18.8 cents from a week earlier. Dallas averaged $3.86, up 27.9 cents, while the Louisiana statewide average was $3.87, up 12.4 cents.
“Average gasoline and diesel prices rose in every state over the last week as geopolitical tensions escalated on multiple fronts, with friction between the U.S. and Iran, new hostilities in the Red Sea, and the shutdown of Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline all combining to jolt prices sharply higher,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
De Haan said attacks that knocked two additional Russian refineries offline could further strain supplies of refined petroleum products and put additional upward pressure on diesel prices.
“While most of the country transitions to cheaper winter-blend gasoline this week, the scale of ongoing geopolitical escalations makes meaningful price relief unlikely in the near term,” De Haan said. “Motorists should brace for continued volatility ahead.”
