Gas Prices in Evansville, IN Today

Evansville drivers are paying around $3.35 per gallon for regular unleaded as of late March 2026, consistent with the Indiana state average and comfortably below the national average of $3.91. Evansville sits at the southern tip of Indiana on the Ohio River, directly bordering Kentucky, which creates an interesting cross-state price comparison dynamic that most locals already know how to use.

Indiana's Tax Advantage and What It Means for Evansville

Indiana charges a motor fuel tax of 34 cents per gallon, moderate in absolute terms, but the overall combination of Indiana's tax structure, reformulated gas exemptions (most of Indiana uses conventional blend), and distance from expensive coastal distribution networks keeps Indiana prices among the lowest in the Midwest.

Evansville benefits from this structure while sitting at the edge of a regional refinery and pipeline network that supplies both the Ohio Valley and the upper South. The Ohio River corridor has historically been a well-supplied fuel market, and Evansville's commercial fuel infrastructure reflects decades of competitive trucking and industrial demand.

The Kentucky Border Angle

Evansville borders Henderson, Kentucky across the Ohio River, and Kentucky's gas prices typically run within 5–10 cents of Indiana's. Unlike the dramatic cross-border savings available to Chicago drivers heading to Indiana, or Philadelphia drivers crossing into New Jersey, the Evansville-Henderson spread is modest. Indiana actually tends to run slightly cheaper than Kentucky here, so if you're near the river, you're already on the better side of the border.

The more significant arbitrage for Evansville drivers is the price spread within Indiana's southwestern corner versus the pricier stations in Owensboro or Bowling Green, KY if you're heading south on US-41 or US-231.

Where to Find the Cheapest Gas in Evansville

Evansville's price geography follows the standard high-volume commercial corridor pattern.

Search by ZIP code:

• East Evansville / Lloyd Expressway corridor, 47715, the densest commercial strip in the metro, most price competition
• North Evansville / US-41 North, 47711, truck route corridor, high-volume stations, competitive pricing
• Green River Road corridor, 47715, 47714, Walmart, Meijer, and warehouse retailers in this area drive fuel price competition
• West Evansville / Morgan Avenue, 47712, west side residential with solid mid-range options
• Downtown / riverfront adjacent, 47710, 47713, more limited station selection; not the cheapest area

Meijer at the east side Lloyd Expressway location runs one of the most consistently competitive fuel prices in the Evansville metro. Costco is not present in Evansville, so Meijer and Sam's Club fill that warehouse-pricing role here.

Trucking and Industrial Demand

Evansville is a regional distribution and manufacturing hub, Toyota has a major manufacturing plant in Princeton, about 25 miles north, and the regional supply chain generates significant truck traffic through Evansville. That industrial fuel demand keeps high-volume stations well-supplied and pricing sharp on the major commercial corridors. The same economic dynamic that makes highway corridor stations competitive in Texas and Georgia applies here.

Spring Blend Transition

Indiana's conventional blend requirement means the spring reformulation cost is lower here than in Illinois or Michigan. The typical March–April price increase from blend changeover hits Indiana less hard than neighboring states, adding another 5–10 cents of advantage for Evansville drivers compared to, say, Chicago or Detroit.
