How much is a gallon of gas in Maine?

State USA Updated May 2026

Gas prices in Maine generally track close to the US national average, fluctuating with global crude oil markets. The state sits near the middle of the pack for fuel costs, neither cheapest nor most expensive in the country. Because Maine is heavily car-dependent outside Portland, fuel is a meaningful monthly expense, with rural commuting adding up quickly over distance. Heating oil also tracks similar pricing patterns, which matters significantly in winter when households burn through fuel. For current daily prices, AAAโ€™s fuel tracker is the most accurate source.
