About this dataset

This page puts the main energy price series published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on one screen: crude oil, gasoline, diesel, natural gas and electricity. All are energy prices, yet each uses a different unit, is measured at a different point in the chain, and is updated on a different cadence. Compare them by rate of change, not by level.

How to read it

Different units mean levels are not comparableCrude is priced per barrel, gasoline and diesel per gallon, natural gas per million BTU, electricity per kilowatt-hour. The size of the number carries no meaning across series; what compares is the rate of change week on week, month on month, or year on year.
Spot prices and retail prices are different thingsCrude and natural gas are traded market prices; gasoline, diesel and electricity are what a consumer pays. Retail carries tax, transport and refining costs on top, so it moves later than the feedstock and by a different amount.
Each series has its own update cadenceSome series are weekly and some monthly. The date on each card is the date the value refers to, not the day you are reading it. Check the date.
Published figures get revisedEarly estimates are corrected later. When quoting a number, note the date you took it, so a later discrepancy has an explanation.

FAQ

Why does gasoline not move when crude does?

Retail prices carry tax, transport, refining and retail costs, and the feedstock price passes through inventory with a lag. The direction may agree while the size and the timing do not.

What date do these numbers refer to?

Each card shows its own reference date. Some series are weekly and some monthly, so the latest values do not share a date.

Can I use this page for investment decisions?

No. This is an organized view of public data, not investment or trading advice. Figures are revised, and they depend on when this site collected them.
