About Gas Prices in New Hampshire
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) surveys fuel retailers weekly but doesn't publish a separate price for New Hampshire, so the price shown is the EIA's New England regional average for regular unleaded gasoline. Prices at individual stations in New Hampshire may be higher or lower depending on location, brand, and local competition.
Several factors influence New Hampshire's gas price: state fuel taxes, the distance from major refineries, pipeline and distribution infrastructure, and the required seasonal fuel blend. Use the calculator above to see exactly how today's New Hampshire price affects your commute, road trip, or monthly driving budget.
New Hampshire Fuel Taxes: ≈24¢/gal
New Hampshire has a state gas tax well below the national average. New Hampshire's state gas tax is about 24 cents per gallon, well under the roughly 33.5-cent national average. The state also has no general sales tax, which reinforces its reputation as a lower-cost place to shop and fill up compared with its New England neighbors.
Tax figures are approximate state-level taxes and fees per gallon of regular gasoline and exclude the 18.4¢/gal federal excise tax. Rates change, so verify current rates with the state's revenue or transportation department.
How New Hampshire Gets Its Gasoline
New Hampshire has no refineries. Fuel terminals around Portsmouth and Newington receive gasoline by ship, and it's then trucked across the state — a coastal-terminal supply model typical of New England states without their own refining capacity.
Where Gas Is Cheapest and Most Expensive in New Hampshire
Towns near the Massachusetts border, like Nashua and Salem, benefit from heavy station competition and draw cross-border fill-ups from Massachusetts drivers thanks to New Hampshire's lower taxes. Rural North Country communities, farthest from the coastal terminals, typically pay the state's highest prices.
