Baytown Gas Near $3.50; Houston Diesel Average Remains Higher

A 7-Eleven in Baytown is listing regular gasoline at $3.499 per gallon and diesel at $4.499, putting the station’s diesel price exactly $1 higher than its regular-gas price. The station page says its fuel prices were updated within 24 hours.

The figures come from the 7-Eleven at 6012 East Freeway and represent one station-level snapshot, not a citywide Baytown average. Prices can vary from one location to another, so drivers should compare nearby stations before filling up.

Regular gas eased from yesterday but is above last week’s Houston average

AAA’s July 31 price check puts the Houston metro regular-gas average at $3.610 per gallon. That is about 11 cents higher than the current 7-Eleven listing in Baytown.

The Houston regular-gas average was $3.615 yesterday and $3.595 a week earlier. That means the metro average has edged lower from the day-before reading but remains higher than it was one week ago. The AAA figure is a Houston-area average, not a Baytown pump price.

Diesel remains more expensive for heavy-use drivers

Diesel at the Baytown 7-Eleven is listed at $4.499 per gallon. AAA’s Houston metro diesel average was higher at $4.882 on July 31. The metro diesel average was $4.866 yesterday and $4.777 a week earlier, showing a different short-term pattern from regular gasoline.

That split matters for local drivers and businesses. Regular gasoline is the larger household concern for commuters, parents, weekend travelers and residents with long daily drives. Diesel prices matter more directly to contractors, delivery operators, landscapers, service businesses and restaurants that depend on deliveries or diesel-powered vehicles and equipment.

Higher diesel costs can add pressure to delivery routes, equipment use and service calls, while gasoline prices affect household travel budgets. The available data does not show that every Baytown business is changing prices, but it does show why gasoline and diesel users can experience different cost pressures at the same time.

For the most accurate local comparison, check several Baytown stations on the day you plan to fuel. The 7-Eleven listing can change independently of the broader Houston metro average.
