About Gas Prices in Vermont
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) surveys fuel retailers weekly but doesn't publish a separate price for Vermont, so the price shown is the EIA's New England regional average for regular unleaded gasoline. Prices at individual stations in Vermont may be higher or lower depending on location, brand, and local competition.
Several factors influence Vermont'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 Vermont price affects your commute, road trip, or monthly driving budget.
Vermont Fuel Taxes: ≈32¢/gal
Vermont has a state gas tax close to the national average. Vermont's state gas tax is about 32 cents per gallon, close to 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, so verify current rates with the state's revenue or transportation department.
How Vermont Gets Its Gasoline
Vermont has no refineries or major fuel pipelines of its own. Gasoline is trucked in from terminals in Albany, New York, and southern New England, and the state's small population and long rural delivery routes add a bit of trucking cost that shows up most in remote areas.
Where Gas Is Cheapest and Most Expensive in Vermont
Chittenden County, around Burlington, is the state's largest market and generally has the most competitive prices. The Northeast Kingdom, Vermont's most rural and remote corner, sits farthest from any fuel terminal and typically pays the state's highest prices.
