EIA Weekly On-Highway Diesel Survey - week of October 12, 2026
Diesel cost per gallon in New York
What readers paid for diesel in New York
Prices readers report from the pump: what they paid, where, and how they paid. Each one is a single fill on the date shown, not a survey average; the weekly EIA figures elsewhere on this page are the survey.
No reader has reported a price in New York yet. Yours would be the first.

Read this as a district figure, not a state figure. The EIA weekly on-highway diesel survey prices the United States, its districts and California, and nothing else. It does not price New York. The number above is Central Atlantic (PADD 1B), series EMD_EPD2D_PTE_R1Y_DPG, and it is the closest published federal figure for New York. We do not estimate a price for New York from it. 2 of New York's neighbouring states sit in the same district and therefore show the same price below.
EIA does not publish a weekly on-highway diesel price for New York. The federal survey prices the district New York sits in, Central Atlantic (PADD 1B), at $6.471 per gallon in the week of October 12, 2026 (series EMD_EPD2D_PTE_R1Y_DPG), $0.29 above the US average of $6.179. Pump prices inside the district vary around that figure.
Diesel tax breakdown
Tax rates: Federation of Tax Administrators state motor fuel table and state revenue departments. Not EIA data. The percentage is against the EIA figure shown above, which is a district figure unless New York is surveyed directly.
Neighbouring states
Neighbours in the same EIA district carry the same published figure. A matching price here means the federal survey shows no measured gap across that border, not that pumps are identical.
What shapes the diesel price in New York
New York carries a high state diesel tax, dense infrastructure costs and a reliance on Northeast refineries and imports. The Thruway (I-87), I-81 and I-90 are the major freight corridors, and the New York City metro typically prices above upstate. In winter, No. 2 heating oil, chemically the same middle distillate as diesel, competes for the same supply and adds seasonal pressure. EIA reads New York through the Central Atlantic district for diesel.
The trip calculator starts at $6.47/gal, the EIA figure above. Change it to the price you actually see at the pump for a real answer.
