Maryville drivers: AAA Knoxville-metro fuel check shows regular $3.48, diesel $4.56

Maryville drivers using AAA’s Knoxville-metro benchmark saw mixed movement in the latest daily fuel check. As of 7/11/26, AAA lists regular unleaded at $3.476/gal (down from $3.496 yesterday) and diesel at $4.556/gal (up from $4.508 yesterday). Because Blount County (Maryville) is in the Knoxville metro area, the Knoxville averages are the closest consistent metro reference point for tracking what prices are doing in the area.

Regular unleaded: down slightly since yesterday

AAA’s Knoxville-metro regular unleaded average is $3.476/gal as of 7/11/26, which is $0.020 less than yesterday’s $3.496. Compared with broader windows, regular is $0.195 higher than a week ago ($3.281) but still $0.207 lower than last month ($3.683) and $0.715 higher than a year ago ($2.761).

Diesel: slightly higher than yesterday, still far above last year

AAA’s Knoxville-metro diesel average is $4.556/gal as of 7/11/26—$0.048 higher than yesterday’s $4.508. Diesel is $0.054 higher than a week ago ($4.502), $0.340 lower than last month ($4.896), and $1.167 higher than a year ago ($3.389).

U.S. context: EIA’s weekly retail series points to a soft week

Looking beyond the Knoxville metro, EIA’s weekly retail gasoline and diesel data for the week ending 7/06/26 show U.S. regular gasoline at $3.777/gal, down from $3.831 for the prior week. EIA also reports U.S. on-highway diesel at $4.578/gal, down from $4.668 the week before—an indication that, nationally, the weekly trend had eased at the latest reporting point.

What this means locally around Maryville

For everyday driving, the Knoxville-metro benchmark suggests regular costs have ticked down slightly versus yesterday—which can matter for commuter fill-ups and routine errands. Diesel remains the bigger pressure point for a fuel-sensitive local economy: it’s a key input for delivery routes, contractors, and service vehicles that support home and business operations. Even though diesel is lower than a month ago, the year-over-year gap is still large enough to keep operating costs elevated for fuel-intensive work.

What to watch next

AAA updates these Knoxville-metro averages daily. The latest check puts both fuels below month-ago levels, but above week-ago levels—so the near-term direction will depend on how tomorrow’s (and the next) daily readings compare with today’s.
