Aurora gas and diesel split: Havana Street stays pricey, East Colfax is lower
Aurora CO Gas & Diesel Watch — Havana Street lists $4.599 regular and $5.699 diesel, while East Colfax is lower at $3.919 and $5.129.
The latest Aurora fuel check still shows a clear split between two 7-Eleven stations. At 595 Havana St, regular is $4.599 and diesel is $5.699. At 10502 E Colfax Ave, regular is $3.919 and diesel is $5.129. That leaves a 68-cent gap on regular fuel and a 57-cent gap on diesel, enough to matter for anyone paying for a daily commute or a work route.
Regular gas: East Colfax is the cheaper Aurora stop
For regular unleaded, the East Colfax station sits below both the Colorado average of $4.438 and the national average of $4.446, according to AAA. The Havana Street station sits above both. The practical takeaway is simple: Aurora drivers cannot assume one part of town matches another. Pump location still makes a real difference.
That difference can add up quickly for people who burn through fuel faster than average. Commuters with long drives, parents doing school and activity runs, rideshare drivers, and small-business owners trying to trim weekly expenses all have a reason to check prices before they pull in. Even one fill-up can swing noticeably when stations in the same city are nearly 70 cents apart on regular gas.
Diesel: the bigger budget pressure point
Diesel tells the same story, only with more money at stake. East Colfax is listed at $5.129, below AAA’s Colorado diesel average of $5.525 and below the national average of $5.642. Havana Street is higher at $5.699, putting that pump above the state average and a bit above the U.S. benchmark as well.
That matters most for contractors, delivery drivers, landscapers, independent couriers, and other local businesses that buy diesel in larger volumes. A few cents per gallon turns into a real cost difference when the tank is large, the route is long, or fuel is purchased often. For fleet operators and one-truck businesses alike, the cheapest station can be worth the detour.
The broader fuel backdrop
Colorado’s average remains close to the national market on regular gasoline, but diesel is still running notably higher than regular. The latest AAA snapshot shows Colorado at $4.438 for regular and $5.525 for diesel, compared with the national average of $4.446 for regular and $5.642 for diesel. The federal Energy Information Administration’s most recent weekly update also showed U.S. prices easing in late April, with regular gasoline at $4.044 and on-highway diesel at $5.403 on April 20.
For Aurora readers, the point is not that every pump is moving the same way. It is that station-to-station pricing still matters right now. Havana Street is the pricier fill-up in this check, while East Colfax is the better bet for drivers looking to keep costs down.
