A US gasoline price API returns the EIA weekly gasoline print as JSON. On FreightPulse that is the same GET /api/v1/fuel-prices path as diesel, with header X-API-Key. Read data.gasoline.national_average — not the diesel object and not bunker.

Official docs sample dated 2026-07-27 prints gasoline national_average 3.156 USD/gallon (regular 3.156). Diesel on that fixture is 3.847. bunker_fuel.available is false. Free is 100 calls/mo, no card, 5 rpm. Basic is $49/mo (1,000 calls, 30 rpm, 7-day trial on paid). MCP: mcp.freightpulsehq.com/mcp. Docs: /docs.

3.156 is the documentation week, not today’s EIA print. Copy the curl for the current updated_at.
