The Alaska Fuel Price Report was originally created in 2005 to provide information about actual energy costs across Alaska. These data were used to inform decision making relating to grant and loan programs administered by the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development.
Since the initial report in 2005, the Division of Community and Regional Affairs (DCRA) has conducted 38 surveys to obtain heating fuel and gasoline prices from 100 selected Alaskan communities. At the time the survey was launched, the national AAA fuel survey only reported Anchorage and Mat-Su pricing so these areas were deliberately excluded from the 100 select communities. For nearly twenty years, DCRA fuel survey data have been used by public and private entities as a consistent frame of reference for gasoline and heating fuel prices over time.
This report provides summary information about current fuel prices across Alaska, comparisons of historical fuel prices in the surveyed communities versus the national average, and interactive maps that contain both current and historical fuel price data.
All reported prices are "point in time" as reported by local fuel vendors, community contacts, and the corporate offices of major Alaskan retailers. Survey calls for the Summer 2024 survey were placed between July 8, 2024 and August 8, 2024. All prices include applicable local taxes.
