About Gas Prices in Utah
Gas prices in Utah are reported daily by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) as part of their weekly survey of fuel retailers. The price shown is a statewide average for regular unleaded gasoline. Prices at individual stations in Utah may be higher or lower depending on location, brand, and local competition.
Several factors influence Utah'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 Utah price affects your commute, road trip, or monthly driving budget.
Utah Fuel Taxes: ≈39¢/gal
Utah has a state gas tax well above the national average. Utah's state gas tax is about 39 cents per gallon, well above the roughly 33.5-cent national average.
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 — verify current rates with the state's revenue or transportation department.
How Utah Gets Its Gasoline
Utah has an unusually large refining cluster for its population: five refineries operate in the Salt Lake Valley, processing crude from Utah's own Uinta Basin along with other regional sources. That concentration of local refining is among the highest per capita in the country and generally keeps Utah well-supplied.
Where Gas Is Cheapest and Most Expensive in Utah
The Salt Lake Valley and Wasatch Front, home to the refineries, typically see the state's lowest prices. Rural southern and eastern Utah, far from the refining cluster, generally run higher due to longer trucking distances.
