Common questions

When do Los Angeles gas prices update?

The US Energy Information Administration surveys retail prices every Monday and publishes that week's figure the same afternoon. That is why FillWindow makes one call a week rather than a daily one: a weekly survey is the finest thing a forecast can honestly be checked against.

Should I fill up this week in LA?

The call at the top of this page answers that for the current week, using the Los Angeles price series rather than the statewide one. If Los Angeles has not yet earned a directional call on its own data, the page tracks the price and says so instead of borrowing California's verdict.

Are LA gas prices different from the California average?

Yes, and they are surveyed separately by the EIA. That is why this page is scored on the Los Angeles series against a Los Angeles baseline. A model that works statewide is not automatically right for one city.
