LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Nevada fell 3 cents this past week to $4.78, according to AAA.
The national average also dropped 3 cents, settling at $4.06.
Crude oil prices have declined into the $70 per barrel range amid optimism that the Strait of Hormuz will resume normal operations. About half of all states are now averaging below $4 per gallon.
“Nevadans are still paying about $1.03 more per gallon than they were at this point in 2025,” said Doug Johnson, spokesperson for AAA Mountain West Group. “But, gas prices typically start going down this time of year, as demand decreases and people settle into their fall routines.”
