The fast signal · EIA weekly survey

The monthly BLS figure above arrives with a lag. The EIA's weekly service-station survey read $3.777/gal in the week of 2026-07-06 — the same commodity, days old instead of weeks. We show it here for freshness and keep it out of the index, which stays all-BLS for consistency.
