Why are gas prices lower in Alaska than the national average?
Alaska benefits from low state fuel taxes (~9¢/gal).
What is Alaska's gas tax?
Alaska's state gas tax is approximately 9¢ per gallon, one of the lowest in the United States. This is a combined state excise tax and in some states includes local levies. The federal gas tax adds an additional 18.4¢/gal on top of state taxes.
When is the cheapest time to buy gas in Alaska?
Gas prices in Alaska — like across the US — tend to be lowest on Mondays and Tuesdays, when weekly demand is lowest. Prices typically rise Thursday through Saturday as weekend travel demand increases. Avoiding fill-ups on Fridays and Saturdays can save 3–8¢/gal on average. Alaska prices also tend to be lower in late fall and winter when summer-blend fuel requirements end.
