About this page

Movers are the change in each state’s AAA regular average vs 7 and 30 snapshots ago; streaks count consecutive daily rises or falls through the latest snapshot. We publish what moved, not why — for supply-and-demand context, EIA’s This Week in Petroleum is the standard reference.

Want the raw numbers? Every daily snapshot we’ve collected is downloadable: download the full history (CSV) — one row per state per day, all four grades, free to use with attribution to AAA (source) and Gasolytics (collection).
