Yonkers-Area Gas Edges Up to $4.31 While Diesel Holds at $5.73

Regular gasoline edged higher while diesel held steady in the latest AAA price check for the White Plains metro, the closest AAA market measure serving Yonkers. The August 1, 2026, averages put regular gas at $4.313 per gallon, up 0.3 cents from the previous day, and diesel at $5.726, unchanged from the prior check.

The figures are metro averages, not a citywide average of every station in Yonkers. Individual pump prices can vary by location, brand, roadway and time of day, and local prices may change faster than the regional benchmark.

Gasoline is nearly flat but lower than last week

The small daily increase leaves regular gasoline essentially unchanged for drivers filling up around Yonkers. Compared with a week earlier, however, the AAA White Plains metro average is down 1.1 cents, from $4.324 per gallon to $4.313.

That weekly decline offers limited relief because prices remain well above the same point last year. AAA listed regular gasoline at $3.283 a year ago, putting the latest average about $1.03 higher.

Diesel is moving in the opposite direction

Diesel did not move from the previous day, remaining at $5.726 per gallon. Its weekly trend is less favorable: the latest average is 4.4 cents higher than the prior week’s $5.682.

Diesel was listed at $4.031 a year ago, making the current average about $1.70 higher. That difference matters for contractors, delivery operators, landscapers, fleet owners and service businesses that depend on diesel-powered vehicles or equipment.

What the pattern means locally

For Yonkers commuters and households, the near-flat gasoline reading means the latest daily change is unlikely to alter a regular trip budget by itself. The larger issue remains the year-over-year gap, especially for drivers who commute frequently or use larger vehicles.

Businesses that pass transportation costs through delivery fees, service charges or product prices may also be watching diesel closely. A slight weekly decline in gasoline does not offset the higher diesel reading for operators whose work depends on diesel fuel.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and the U.S. Energy Information Administration provide broader weekly gasoline and diesel data for statewide and federal context. Those figures help show larger market trends, but they do not replace the White Plains metro measure or station-level prices in Yonkers.

Before filling up, drivers should compare several nearby stations because the actual price may be higher or lower than the metro average. What are the highest and lowest pump prices you are seeing in Yonkers today?
