The Clean Cities and Communities Alternative Fuel Price Report for October 2024 is a quarterly report on the prices of alternative fuels in the U.S. and their relation to gasoline and diesel prices. This issue describes prices that were gathered from Clean Cities and Communities coalition directors and stakeholders between October 1, 2024 and October 15, 2024, and then averaged in order to determine regional price trends by fuel and variability in fuel price within regions and among regions. The prices collected for this report represent retail, at-the-pump sales prices for each fuel, including Federal and state motor fuel taxes.
Table 2 reports that the nationwide average price (all amounts are per gallon) for regular gasoline has decreased 28 cents from $3.53 to $3.25; diesel decreased 23 cents from $3.87 to $3.64; CNG decreased 1 cent from $2.92 to $2.91; ethanol (E85) decreased 25 cents from $2.99 to $2.74; propane decreased 7 cents from $3.42 to $3.35; and biodiesel (B20) decreased 20 cents from $3.73 to $3.53.
According to Table 3, CNG is 34 cents less than gasoline on an energy-equivalent basis and E85 is 31 cents more than gasoline on an energy-equivalent basis.
