Buena Park-Area Gas Holds at $5.70 While Diesel Reaches $7.09
Buena Park, CA — Regular gas held at $5.701 in AAA’s latest metro check, while diesel rose to $7.088. Both fuels increased from a week earlier.
Regular gasoline was unchanged while diesel moved higher in the latest AAA price check for the Los Angeles-Long Beach metro area, a regional benchmark used here for Buena Park-area drivers. AAA’s July 29, 2026 data listed regular gas at $5.701 per gallon and diesel at $7.088.
Regular gas was unchanged from Tuesday
AAA listed regular gasoline at $5.701 per gallon on July 29, unchanged from $5.701 on July 28. The metro benchmark was 10.9 cents higher than it was one week earlier, when AAA listed regular gas at $5.592.
That means commuters and households did not face a new day-over-day increase in the regular-gas benchmark, although the weekly comparison still showed higher fuel costs than the previous week. Buena Park does not have a separate AAA city row in the available data, so the Los Angeles-Long Beach figure should be read as a regional reference rather than a precise Buena Park city average.
Diesel climbed to $7.088
Diesel showed the clearer daily move. AAA listed diesel at $7.088 per gallon, up from $7.083 on July 28. The metro diesel benchmark was also 14.8 cents higher than the week-earlier figure of $6.940.
The increase matters most for delivery operators, contractors, service companies and other businesses that rely on diesel-powered vehicles. Higher diesel costs can affect route planning and operating budgets, although the effect on prices for individual goods or services will vary by business and is not established by the metro fuel data alone.
Local pump prices can differ
Individual stations in and around Buena Park may be above or below the metro benchmark because of brand, location, competition, fuel grade, payment method and other station-level factors. Dated Buena Park station listings from July 18 included regular-gas observations ranging from $5.15 to $5.89, but those listings are too old to represent current July 29 prices.
For commuters, weekend travelers and households, comparing nearby stations remains the most reliable way to find a lower pump price. Businesses with regular fuel purchases may also want to track diesel and gasoline separately rather than treating them as one trend.
The next AAA update will show whether regular gasoline remains steady and whether the recent diesel increase continues. What are the highest and lowest pump prices you are seeing in Buena Park?
