About MilePrice
MilePrice shows what a car costs to fuel or charge in every U.S. state. It is free, there is nothing to sign up for, and every figure comes from public U.S. government data.
Why it exists
What a car costs to run depends on where you live almost as much as on the car. From September 2025 to August 2026, home electricity averaged 12.6¢ a kWh in North Dakota and 44.4¢ in Hawaii, and gas prices and fuel taxes vary from state to state too. Yet the fuel cost on a new car's window sticker uses one national price for everyone.
MilePrice puts the car and the state together. Pick both and see what it costs a month, a year and a mile, from EPA's rating for that car and the prices where you live.
Who it's for
Anyone weighing up a car: choosing between models, deciding between gas and electric, budgeting for a commute or a road trip, or working out what a move to another state does to the bill. The 20 cars we cover are among America's best sellers, with every version EPA rates, and we add more over time.
Where the numbers come from
Fuel economy comes from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Gas, diesel and electricity prices and state fuel taxes come from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The data is refreshed automatically every week.
EIA publishes weekly pump prices for only 9 states. For the rest, we estimate from regional prices and state fuel taxes, and mark those figures as estimates wherever they appear. The details are on how we calculate.
Independent
MilePrice is not affiliated with any carmaker, dealer, fuel retailer, charging network, utility or government agency. EPA and EIA publish the data we use; they have not reviewed or endorsed this site.
How it's paid for
MilePrice is free to use and is supported by advertising. Advertisers have no say over the figures: every car is costed with the same formula from the same public data, and ads never sit between you and the answer.
Corrections
If a figure looks wrong, please tell us, with the address of the page. We check it against the source data and correct anything we got wrong. The figures are estimates for planning, not quotes or financial advice; our terms of use say more.
