Delta gas prices ease again, but diesel still tops $5 at some stations
Delta’s regular-gas prices have eased at some stations, but diesel still tops $5 at Phillips 66 and keeps work vehicles under pressure.
Delta drivers are seeing another break on regular gas, but diesel is still expensive enough to matter for work trucks, delivery vans, farm equipment, and other high-mileage vehicles. The latest posted station prices show a wider spread than many commuters may expect, which means shopping around still matters before you pull up to the pump.
On Way‘s Delta station list, the cheapest visible regular-gas prices are in the low $3s, including Shell at $2.95 and City Market and Safeway at $3.19. That is a better number for everyday drivers than the prices seen at some other stations around town, and it is the kind of spread that can add up over a month for households, small businesses, and anyone making repeated trips on U.S. 50 or Highway 92.
The clearest diesel example in town is the Phillips 66 on US-50, where Way lists regular gas at $3.94 a gallon and diesel at $5.10. Compared with the previous Delta fuel watch, that station is cheaper on both fuels, with regular down about 56 cents and diesel down about 57 cents. Even so, diesel is still above $5 there, which keeps pressure on contractors, delivery drivers, restaurants, service businesses, and farmers who burn through fuel quickly.
How Delta stacks up beyond town
Delta’s lowest visible regular-gas listings also sit below broader benchmarks. AAA’s Colorado fuel page puts the state’s current averages at $4.285 for regular and $5.162 for diesel, while AAA’s national page shows a U.S. average of $4.261 for regular and $5.411 for diesel. That means a disciplined local shopper in Delta can still find regular prices well under the state and national averages, even if not every station matches the cheapest listing.
The Energy Information Administration’s latest gasoline and diesel update points the same direction: U.S. gasoline and diesel prices both eased week over week. That broader market softness is part of why Delta’s regular-gas listings look lighter than they did in the last check, even though diesel remains stubbornly high at some stations.
For local drivers, the practical takeaway is simple. If you commute daily, run a business fleet, or are planning weekend travel, it is worth comparing stations before filling up. A few cents per gallon matters on a small fill-up; on a diesel tank or a busy work week, it can mean real money.
