Pittston gas & diesel: regular $3.913, diesel $5.450 (July 10, 2026)

Friday’s AAA fuel check (price as of July 10, 2026) for the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre–Hazleton metro (a Pittston proxy) shows regular gasoline at $3.913/gal and diesel at $5.450/gal.

Quick note: These are metro averages, not a guarantee of what every pump in Pittston is charging.

Regular gas: a small bump since yesterday, up vs last week

Regular is higher than yesterday at $3.904—a modest increase to $3.913 today. Compared with last week, it’s also up: $3.870 last week vs today’s $3.913.

The longer look still matters for household fill-up budgets: regular is down vs last month ($4.296), but it’s also higher than last year ($3.184).

Diesel: essentially unchanged vs last week

Diesel is slightly higher than yesterday—$5.427 yesterday vs $5.450 today. But compared with last week, diesel is flat/unchanged at $5.450.

Even with that week-to-week steadiness, diesel remains a big budget line: it’s down vs last month ($5.801), but still much higher than last year ($4.025).

What this means for Pittston-area drivers, fleets, and delivery schedules

If you commute regularly, the “up vs yesterday/last week” direction on regular gas means fill-up costs may creep higher during the workweek, even while prices are still softer than last month. For contractors, delivery drivers, and any business operating diesel-powered equipment or fleets, diesel being flat vs last week suggests operating costs haven’t improved much recently—so budgets that were built around past-year diesel prices may still feel tight.

U.S. baseline (EIA weekly update released July 7, 2026): easing on the week, still elevated vs last year

EIA’s latest weekly Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update (released July 7, 2026) reports U.S. regular gasoline down vs the prior week but still up vs a year ago. For on-highway diesel, EIA also shows lower than last week while remaining higher than last year—a pattern that matches the local “eased from last month, but still not back to last year” takeaway.

Reader tips (practical, not panic)

• Compare nearby stations before you fill—metro averages move, but individual pumps can vary a lot.
• Watch diesel if you manage routes, deliveries, or equipment schedules: even “flat” weeks still leave diesel far above last year.
