El Paso gas prices: Regular ticks up, diesel eases (AAA as of June 26)

AAA’s June 26 price check for the El Paso metro shows a small split: regular gas is slightly higher than yesterday, while diesel is a bit cheaper. For daily commutes and deliveries, that means pump totals can shift by a few cents day to day—even as both fuels remain below last month.

Regular gas (El Paso metro averages)

AAA lists regular at $3.80 per gallon today (prices as of June 26). Yesterday’s El Paso average was $3.75. The week-ago figure was $3.79, the month-ago average was $4.21, and the year-ago average was $3.02.

What it means: if you drive daily, expect a modest uptick versus yesterday—but you’re still paying less than last month and far more stable than last year.

Diesel (El Paso metro averages)

For diesel, AAA shows $4.51 today (as of June 26), down from $4.53 yesterday. Week-ago diesel averaged $4.69, month-ago diesel was $5.14, and year-ago diesel averaged $3.35.

What it means: diesel has eased versus yesterday, which can slightly soften operating costs for contractors, trucking and delivery routes—but diesel is still much higher than a year ago.

How El Paso compares with the broader market

AAA’s national averages followed a similar day-to-day pattern on June 26: regular at $3.90 (down from $3.92 yesterday) and diesel at $4.93 (down from $4.96 yesterday).

On the weekly data side, the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update (release date June 23, 2026) reported U.S. regular gasoline and on-highway diesel prices falling week over week.
