sources & coverage

AAA publishes a daily county average behind the county map on each state page; this reads that payload for all 50 states and joins it to Census county FIPS. The District of Columbia is a single county-equivalent, so its district-wide average is its county figure.

AAA covers only Anchorage and Mat-Su in Alaska. The other 9 boroughs shown come from the Alaska DCCED community fuel survey, aggregated to borough and drawn with a dashed outline — that survey is semi-annual rather than daily.

3,109 of 3,142 county-equivalents carry a price (98.9%). The remaining 33 are hatched: almost all are among the least populated counties in the country, where no survey reports a pump price.

The history behind the chart is 294,426 observations across 3,128 counties and 96 dates, 2020-04-06 to 2026-09-15. Everything before 2026-09-15 was reconstructed from archived copies of AAA’s county payload, sampled one capture per state-week; each daily refresh adds a point from here on.
