Miami Gas Prices

Miami gas prices this week

The Miami metro averaged $4.077 per gallon for regular gasoline in the week ending Oct 26, 2026. The metro average held steady $0.000 from the previous week, and it is $0.060 above the Florida statewide average of $4.017. Against the national average of $4.269, Miami is $0.192 cheaper.

Miami fuel prices are set by waterborne supply from Gulf Coast refineries and by strong seasonal demand. The EIA metro average covers Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, including Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.

What drives prices in Miami

• Fuel arrives by barge and tanker at Port Everglades and Miami terminals.
• South Florida demand peaks from November through April with tourism and snowbird season.
• Florida’s county-level local option taxes vary across the metro.

Metro averages smooth out station-level differences, but they are still the right baseline for budgeting. A station a few blocks from a highway ramp can easily charge 20 cents more than one on a secondary road in the same county.

Areas covered by the Miami average

The metro series includes the core city and the surrounding communities that share its fuel distribution network: Miami Beach, Hialeah, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pompano Beach, Homestead, Aventura, Coral Gables. Prices in outlying counties can run 10 to 25 cents lower or higher depending on local taxes and distance from the nearest terminal.

Commuting cost in Miami

Miami-area commutes are moderate in distance but frequently congested. Air conditioning use adds 10 to 20 percent to fuel consumption in summer months.

A simple benchmark: a 30-mile round trip at 28 MPG costs about $4.37 per day at the current Miami average. Over 260 working days that is roughly $1136 per year. Use the commute cost calculator with your real mileage, and the gas mileage calculator if you are not sure what MPG your car actually returns in city traffic.

How to pay less at the pump in Miami

1. Start with membership warehouses: Costco, Sam's Club, and BJ's typically undercut nearby stations by 10 to 30 cents.
2. Check stations one exit past your usual stop — highway-adjacent stations price for convenience, not for locals.
3. Use a station-level app for the final address; use this page to judge whether the price you see is normal for the metro.
4. Fix the cheap things first: tire pressure, air filter, and removing unused roof racks each return 2 to 6 percent of fuel economy.

How this page is built

The Miami series is the EIA's published metro retail average, updated weekly and restated in dollars per gallon including taxes. We rebuild this page every week after the survey release and print the survey week at the top so there is no ambiguity about the date. See the methodology and data sources pages for details.
