Regular unleaded gasoline has an octane greater than or equal to 85 and less than 88. Midgrade motor gasoline has an octane greater than or equal to 88 and less than or equal to 90, which includes some octane boosters (this includes E-10 in Nebraska). Premium gasoline has an octane greater than 90. Diesel fuel is fuel used for internal combustion in diesel engines.

A general rule of thumb: For every $1 in the price of a barrel of crude oil, gasoline’s price at the pump will be about 4 cents a gallon. So if crude oil’s price is $70 per barrel, gasoline will be about $2.80 per gallon at the pump. To continue this line of thinking:

  • A crude oil price of $25/barrel would be about $1/gallon gasoline price at the pump.
  • A crude oil price of $50/barrel would be about $2/gallon gasoline price at the pump.
  • A crude oil price of $75/barrel would be about $3/gallon gasoline price at the pump.
