A single nearby retail snapshot can look quite different from a statewide average. At 7-Eleven, 222 Butler Rd, Kittanning (prices noted as “updated within 24hrs”), regular is listed at $4.199 and diesel is listed at $5.799.

Takeaway: If you’re deciding where to fuel today, compare the pump you usually use against nearby options—local pricing can sit above or below the statewide average even when the state numbers move only slightly.

EIA context (U.S. on-highway): weekly dip for both gas and diesel

For broader direction, the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s weekly update (table date 07/06/26) shows regular gasoline edged lower week over week (U.S. regular drops to $3.777 for 07/06/26, with a -0.054 “week ago” change). On-highway diesel also edged lower, to $4.578 for 07/06/26 (with a -0.090 “week ago” change).

What this can mean for households and diesel-dependent work

Even when statewide diesel is flat versus yesterday, local pump prices can still change at different rates from one station to the next. For commuters, contractors, delivery drivers, and anyone running diesel-powered equipment, the practical move today is to check the price at your next stop—especially before planning a bigger fill-up.

If your route is consistent (or your fleet’s fueling stops are consistent), small differences add up over time. If your routine is flexible, it’s often worth comparing the price you see this morning against the last place you filled.
