Diesel, gasoline prices are lowest in North Carolina

(The Center Square) – Lowest average prices for a gallon of diesel fuel or regular unleaded gasoline are 19 and 16 cents better, respectively, in North Carolina than any other state in the nation, according to an update Monday from AAA. Motorists from Murphy to Manteo are benefitting from the Republican-majority General Assembly chambers suspending the 41 cents per gallon fuel tax on each through the end of November. The seven-week pause carries an estimated cost of $362.3 million, according to Rockingham County 13th term Sen. Phil Berger Jr. The loss of revenue for money used to help maintain highways through the state Department of Transportation’s Highway Fund and the Highway Trust Fund is being subsidized by the state’s Stabilization and Inflation Reserve account. Berger said the account to draw from has a balance of about $518 million available. First-term Republican state Treasurer Brad Briner, in published reports, said $11 billion in reserves means the amount would not negatively impact the state’s top-level credit rating. If not extended, the fuel taxes return Dec. 1. North Carolina’s average on Monday, according to AAA, for a gallon of diesel is $5.49 and a for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.38.

Two West Jefferson fuel providers listed in gas-tax complaints

WEST JEFFERSON — Two local fuel providers are among 470 statewide fuel-check complaints filed with the North Carolina Department of Justice. Consumers reported separate complaints involving N.C. 163 Grocery and Johnson Oil Company at 10703 Highway 163. However, retailers are not required to reduce prices for fuel whose cost includes tax accrued before the suspension took effect, and the DOJ said price changes may vary by station. Since launching N.C. Fuel Check in mid-October, Attorney General Jeff Jackson’s office has received more than 470 complaints. According to a NCDOJ press release, it has started reaching out to gas stations that may not be passing along savings from the gas tax suspension to consumers. “We’re asking consumers to be our eyes and ears by reporting gas stations they think aren’t passing on gas tax savings at the pump,” Jackson said in a prepared media statement. “To consumers that have filed complaints: Thank you. We’re reviewing every single one.” Earlier this month, the General Assembly passed, and Gov. Josh Stein signed into law Session Law 2026-62, which suspends the state’s 41-cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline and diesel through Nov. 30, 2026. The suspension took effect Oct. 10. Last week, Attorney General Jeff Jackson
