This event tracks potential decreases in the national average regular gasoline price in the U.S. during September 2026. The focus is on how external factors like supply, demand, and seasonal changes might influence fuel costs throughout the month.
The event resolves based on whether the AAA-reported national average regular gas price in the U.S. falls below specified thresholds at any point from the issuance date through September 30, 2026. Multiple markets exist for different price levels, each with a distinct threshold ranging from $4.00 down to $3.60. If the price dips below any of these thresholds during the specified period, the corresponding market resolves to Yes. The outcome for each market is determined solely by whether the price crosses its particular threshold at any time within the window, with no additional conditions or calculations applied.
On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. On Kalshi, traders set the price through continuous bidding and asking, with the market price reflecting the most recent trade execution. The top outcome’s probability is expressed as a percentage, derived from the price of that outcome relative to the total possible payout. This mechanism allows rapid adjustment to new information, with liquidity levels influencing how tightly prices are packed.
This market resolves around Oct 2, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The closing price on the specified settlement date will be compared against official data sources to determine the lowest recorded US gas price for September. The process ensures an objective, transparent resolution based on publicly available information.
Several signals could shift this market before it resolves, including unexpected changes in oil supply, shifts in seasonal demand, geopolitical developments affecting crude prices, or government policies influencing refinery operations. Additionally, severe weather events that disrupt transportation or storage could cause temporary spikes or dips in gas prices, prompting rapid market reactions. Traders will also watch inventory reports and consumer demand trends for early indicators.
