Poteau gas & diesel watch: AAA regular down to $3.398; diesel down to $4.306

AAA’s Le Flore–Sequoyah metro fuel-price check for June 26 lists regular unleaded at $3.398 per gallon, down from $3.414 yesterday.

Diesel is listed at $4.306 per gallon, down from $4.327 yesterday.

When both fuels ease at the same time, it can help household fill-ups and business operating costs—especially for drivers whose routines depend on diesel, from contractors to delivery routes and weekend travel.
