Suffolk Fuel Check: Regular Gas Near $4, Diesel Tops $5.25
Regular gasoline is hovering around $4 per gallon at checked Suffolk stations, while diesel remains above $5.25, according to fuel listings reviewed Monday, Aug. 3, 2026.
The figures are station-level prices, not a citywide Suffolk average. The 7-Eleven listings say fuel prices are updated within 24 hours, so drivers should confirm the pump price before filling up.
Regular gas remains near $4
Regular gasoline was listed at $3.999 per gallon at 2109 N. Main St., $4.038 at 1129 Carolina Road and $4.099 at 3879 Bridge Road.
That puts the spread among the three checked regular-gas locations at about 10 cents per gallon. For a 20-gallon fill-up, choosing the lower-priced location could mean a difference of roughly $2 compared with the highest listed price.
Diesel remains above $5.25
Diesel was listed at $5.299 per gallon at 2109 N. Main St. and $5.259 at 1129 Carolina Road. The Bridge Road listing supplied a regular-gas price but no diesel figure in the reviewed information.
Compared with the previous Suffolk-area check, when regular gas was listed at $4.008 and diesel at $5.311, the regular-gas snapshot remains essentially around $4 while diesel is slightly lower at the two locations with diesel listings.
What the prices mean locally
A 10-cent station-to-station difference may be modest for a single short trip, but it matters more for high-mileage commuters, contractors, delivery drivers and service businesses that refuel frequently. Diesel costs also flow into the operating expenses of work trucks and other commercial vehicles.
Households planning weekend travel can save by comparing nearby stations before leaving. Restaurants, contractors, delivery operators and other businesses may also feel fuel costs through vehicle expenses and deliveries, even when customers do not see the pump price directly.
State context
AAA’s Virginia fuel-price page provides broader state and market context, but it does not display a Suffolk metro average. That is why this update uses individual Suffolk station listings rather than presenting a citywide average.
Prices can change within a day. If you are driving across Suffolk, checking more than one nearby station may reveal a meaningful difference, especially for larger vehicle tanks or repeated commercial stops.
