Frequently asked questions
Does EIA publish a weekly gas price for Iowa?
No. EIA publishes weekly retail prices for the U.S., its PADD regions and subregions, nine states and ten cities. Iowa is not one of the states, so this page shows the Midwest (PADD 2) average, a regional figure covering Iowa together with the other states in that area. That regional regular-grade average is $3.868 per gallon for the week of November 9, 2026.
