Gas Prices in Oklahoma City Today
Oklahoma City drivers are paying around $3.06 per gallon for regular unleaded as of mid-March 2026 — a full 66 cents below the national average of $3.72. Oklahoma consistently ranks among the cheapest states in the country for gasoline, and OKC sits at the center of that advantage. Even as the Iran conflict has pushed global crude prices sharply higher, Oklahoma's position as an oil-producing state with local refinery capacity keeps prices here well below what most Americans are paying.
Why OKC Has Some of the Cheapest Gas in America
Oklahoma is one of the top oil-producing states in the US, and Cushing, Oklahoma — just 60 miles east of OKC — is the primary pricing hub for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil. Having the country's most important crude oil storage facility practically in your backyard creates a meaningful cost advantage for local refineries.
The state also has significant refining capacity in Tulsa, Ponca City, and near the Kansas border. Refined gasoline doesn't have to travel far to reach OKC pumps, eliminating the transportation markup that inflates prices in distant markets. The state gas tax is just 20 cents per gallon — among the lowest in the nation. Production, refining, and low taxes: a triple cost advantage.

How the Iran Conflict Hits an Oil State
The US conflict with Iran and Strait of Hormuz disruptions have pushed Brent crude from around $70 to over $110 per barrel since early March 2026. Nationally, gas prices surged 74 cents in a month — a 26.9% gain. Oklahoma has not been immune, but the impact is moderated by the state's domestic production base.
Oklahoma's refineries primarily process WTI crude from domestic sources — Permian Basin, Oklahoma fields, and Bakken crude stored at Cushing. The supply chain is less directly exposed to the Strait of Hormuz chokepoint than markets dependent on imported crude. The spread between Oklahoma and the national average has actually increased during the crisis, meaning Oklahoma's relative advantage is bigger now than before the conflict began.
OnCue and QuikTrip: The Local Edge
Oklahoma City has two regional convenience store chains — OnCue and QuikTrip — that price fuel aggressively to drive store traffic. Both consistently offer some of the lowest prices in any given area. Costco locations in south OKC and Moore also run 15-25 cents below the metro average, though the savings is less dramatic here simply because the baseline is already so low.
