Jupiter-area gas prices ease Wednesday; diesel stays near $5.51

Regular gasoline prices eased slightly Wednesday in the Palm Beach-area metro, while diesel held flat near $5.51 per gallon. The AAA Florida fuel-price table lists the July 29, 2026 West Palm Beach-Boca Raton metro average at $4.093 per gallon for regular gas and $5.509 for diesel.

Those figures are metro averages for the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Delray Beach metropolitan division, not the average price at Jupiter stations. Individual pumps can be higher or lower depending on location, payment method, competition and when the price was posted.

Regular gas is down for the day but higher over longer periods

AAA’s July 29 update shows regular gasoline down 1.3 cents from Tuesday. Even with that one-day decline, the metro average is 2.1 cents higher than it was a week ago, 14.1 cents higher than a month ago and 88.4 cents higher than a year ago.

For Jupiter drivers, that means a small day-to-day improvement has not erased the broader increase shown in the AAA comparison data. Commuters and households may notice the difference most when filling larger vehicles or making multiple trips during the week.

Diesel remains near $5.51

Diesel was unchanged from Tuesday at $5.509 per gallon in the same AAA metro comparison. Its longer-term increases are larger: diesel is up 20.4 cents from a week ago, 87.2 cents from a month ago and $1.791 from a year ago.

Diesel costs can affect more than drivers at the pump. Contractors, landscapers, delivery operators, construction companies, restaurants and other fuel-dependent businesses may have higher operating costs to watch when diesel remains elevated. Those costs can become one factor in service prices, delivery charges or project budgets, although the available data does not document specific local business reactions.

Why the AAA number is not a Jupiter station average

Jupiter is a principal city within the broader Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach metropolitan statistical area. The federal metropolitan-area delineations identify the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Delray Beach metropolitan division as covering Palm Beach County. That makes the AAA figure useful regional context for Jupiter, but it should not be read as a citywide pump-price survey.

The Jupiter Daily gas-price monitor provides station-level context, and its listings may differ substantially from the AAA metro average. Advertised prices can also change before a driver reaches the station, so checking the posted price shortly before filling up remains important.

Drivers, contractors and local business owners: share the highest and lowest pump prices you are seeing around Jupiter.
