- Regular Unleaded
- Midgrade
- Premium
Regular unleaded gasoline has an octane greater than or equal to 85 and less than 88. Midgrade motor gasoline has an octane greater than or equal to 88 and less than or equal to 90, which includes some octane boosters (this includes E-10 in Nebraska). Premium gasoline has an octane greater than 90.
Average monthly prices can also be viewed for the state and the following cities: Columbus, Grand Island, Kearney, Lincoln, Norfolk, and North Platte.
Weekly average prices are available.
Today's average state price can be found in the State Gas Prices report. Scroll down in the report to find today's average metro prices for motor gasoline.
A general rule of thumb: A dollar increase in the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price per barrel will result in a 2.5–cent increase in the price of diesel fuel per gallon. Likewise, a dollar decrease in the WTI crude oil price per barrel will result in a 2.5–cent decrease in the price of diesel fuel per gallon.
