Perry gas and diesel watch: sub-$3 regular, diesel still swings wide
Murphy USA and WACO Travel Center still show sub-$3 regular in Perry, while diesel stretches from $3.29 to an estimated $5.41 at Shell.
Regular gas in Perry is still showing some relief at the pump. Murphy USA on South Jefferson Street is listed at $2.78 for regular, and WACO Travel Center on South Byron Butler Parkway is showing $2.79. Those are both still under $3, which gives commuters and households a cheaper option if they are willing to compare stations before filling up.
Diesel tells a different story. Murphy USA is posted at $3.29 diesel and WACO Travel Center is at $3.49, but the Shell at 4099 South Byron Butler Parkway is showing an estimated $5.41 diesel. That kind of spread matters for contractors, delivery drivers, farmers, restaurants, service businesses, and anyone running vehicles or equipment that burn diesel.
AAA’s Florida average as of May 12, 2026, is $4.357 for regular and $5.276 for diesel, both down from yesterday. The national average is higher still at $4.504 for regular and $5.644 for diesel. Perry’s cheapest posted regular prices are well below both benchmarks.
For local drivers, the practical takeaway is simple: shop around before you pull in. A quick check along South Jefferson Street and South Byron Butler Parkway could save several dollars on a tank, and the diesel gap can be even more important for commercial users and weekend travelers hauling heavier loads.
Station prices can change quickly, and listings do not always update on the same schedule. If you are filling up in Perry, share the highest and lowest pump prices you are seeing locally.
