Average Price of Gas Today: National Average Hits $4.356 as LNG Flows Tighten
The national average price of gas today is $4.356 per gallon for regular unleaded, up from $4.29 just one week ago, according to AAA data as of May 30, 2026. This 6.6-cent weekly increase coincides with tightening global LNG (liquefied natural gas) flows following prolonged disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which have reduced global LNG supply by approximately 20% and pushed upstream energy costs higher.
