Margate gas & diesel: Regular up yesterday; diesel easing vs last week (June 25, 2026)

Thursday, June 25, 2026 — AAA’s Fort Lauderdale metro averages (used here for the Margate-area driving picture) show regular gas moving higher and diesel easing compared with last week.

Regular gas: up since yesterday

AAA lists regular at $3.8710 per gallon as of 6/25/26. That’s up from $3.8240 on 6/24/26—an increase of $0.0470 per gallon.

Compared with last week, regular is also higher: $3.8050 (week ago) to $3.8710 today, or +$0.0660 per gallon. Looking further back, regular is still well below last month: $4.4110 a month ago to $3.8710 today, or -$0.5400 per gallon.

Diesel: nearly flat day-to-day, down vs last week

AAA lists diesel at $4.7180 per gallon as of 6/25/26. It’s basically unchanged versus yesterday: $4.7150 on 6/24/26 to today’s $4.7180 (about +$0.0030 per gallon).

The bigger movement is versus last week. Diesel fell from $4.8630 (week ago) to $4.7180 today—-$0.1450 per gallon. And compared with last month, diesel is down sharply too: $5.4040 a month ago to $4.7180 today, or -$0.6860 per gallon.

Quick national context (on-highway prices)

For a direction check beyond Florida, EIA reports that in the latest on-highway week shown: U.S. regular gasoline is down $0.138 per gallon vs week ago, and U.S. diesel is down $0.227 per gallon vs week ago. That matches the broader weekly easing pattern even though the local metro move for regular vs yesterday is up.

What to watch in Margate-area budgets

These are metro averages, not a guarantee of what any specific pump in Margate will charge. Still, the mix of moves can matter:

• Commuters and weekend drivers may feel today’s regular uptick more directly, since regular is higher than yesterday in the metro average.
• Delivery, service fleets, and contractors are likely to care most about the weekly change—diesel is meaningfully lower than a week ago, which can help keep operating costs steadier if the easing continues.
• Everyone gets a bigger-picture reminder from the month-over-month numbers: both regular and diesel remain far cheaper than last month in the AAA metro average.
