Gas prices in Lincoln, NE

About gas prices in Lincoln, NE

Nebraska draws pipeline supply from refineries in Wyoming (Cheyenne, Sinclair), Kansas (El Dorado, McPherson), and Iowa, with no in-state refining capacity. The state gas tax is around 30 cents per gallon, on the higher end for the Plains region. Omaha and Lincoln see the most competitive pricing thanks to Casey's, Costco, Sam's Club, and Bucky's (a Nebraska regional chain). Rural Nebraska along Interstates 80 and 76 sees fairly uniform pricing because of consistent pipeline delivery costs. The state's E10 ethanol mandate is partly satisfied by local corn-belt production, which keeps wholesale costs relatively stable through harvest seasons.
