Centennial Fuel Check: Regular Gas Near $4.15, Diesel at $5.299

Regular gasoline was listed at $4.149 per gallon and diesel at $5.299 per gallon on August 1, 2026, at the 7-Eleven at 9355 E Dry Creek Road in Centennial. The retailer says its fuel prices are updated within 24 hours.

Those figures are a station-level snapshot, not a citywide average. Prices can vary between locations, so Centennial drivers should compare several pumps before filling up.

Regular gas is close to the Colorado average

AAA’s August 1 price table listed the Colorado average for regular gasoline at $4.143 per gallon. The cited Centennial station was about six-tenths of a cent higher than that statewide comparison point. AAA’s Denver-metro average was $4.127, putting the station price about 2.2 cents higher than the nearby-market average.

AAA’s Colorado comparison data also shows the current regular-gas average above its week-ago, month-ago and year-ago averages. That indicates gasoline remains higher than each of those recent reference points, even though the Centennial figure is close to the current statewide average.

Diesel is running higher than both comparison averages

The diesel listing at the Centennial station was $5.299 per gallon. AAA reported Colorado diesel averaging $5.186 and Denver-metro diesel averaging $5.127. The station price was therefore about 11 cents above the state average and 17 cents above the Denver-metro average.

AAA’s Colorado data also places the current diesel average above its week-ago, month-ago and year-ago comparison points. The separate gasoline and diesel readings matter because the two fuels are not moving identically: regular gas is close to broader averages, while diesel carries a clearer premium at the cited station.

Who may feel the difference

For commuters and households, the regular-gas price is a direct weekly budget consideration, especially for drivers with long work or school trips. The diesel price matters more immediately to contractors, delivery operators, service fleets and other businesses that rely on commercial vehicles.

Higher diesel costs can also add to operating expenses for restaurants and local businesses that depend on deliveries or service calls. Weekend travelers may see different prices depending on where they stop, which makes checking multiple stations worthwhile rather than treating one location as the Centennial market average.

The clearest local takeaway is a split price picture: gasoline is near the broader Colorado market, while diesel is above both the state and Denver-metro averages. Share the highest and lowest pump prices you are seeing around Centennial.
