Peabody pump prices vary as regular gas nears $4 and diesel tops $5

Regular gasoline listings at two Peabody stations range from $3.769 to $3.999 per gallon, a difference of 23 cents. Diesel is listed above $5 at both locations, ranging from $5.379 to $5.499.

The figures come from individual station pages and should not be treated as a citywide average. Peabody Truck Stop lists regular gasoline at $3.769 per gallon and diesel at $5.379. Its page displays a July 18, 2026, update date, making those figures an older station snapshot rather than a same-day city measurement.

The 7-Eleven at 545 Lowell St. lists regular gasoline at $3.999 per gallon and diesel at $5.499. Its fuel page says gas prices were updated within 24 hours, although it does not provide a precise timestamp for the displayed prices.

Regular gas shows a 23-cent spread

For a driver filling a 15-gallon tank, the difference between the two listed regular-gas prices works out to about $3.45 before taxes, discounts, loyalty savings, or other payment-related differences.

That spread gives commuters and households a reason to compare nearby pumps, but the two listings do not establish which price is typical across Peabody. Prices can vary by location and can change at different times, so drivers should check the station sign or app before relying on an online listing.

Diesel remains above $5 at both locations

Diesel is listed at $5.379 per gallon at Peabody Truck Stop and $5.499 at the 7-Eleven on Lowell Street. The 12-cent difference matters most for drivers and businesses that buy fuel in larger volumes, including delivery operators, contractors, service businesses, restaurants that depend on commercial deliveries, and anyone using diesel-powered vehicles or equipment.

Higher diesel costs can add to operating expenses even when a business does not immediately change its posted prices. For residents, the practical effect may show up indirectly through delivery charges, contractor estimates, service-call costs, or the expense of traveling for work.

Massachusetts prices provide broader context

AAA’s July 31 Massachusetts averages were $4.131 per gallon for regular gasoline and $5.467 for diesel. The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s weekly Massachusetts series, released July 28, showed regular gasoline at $4.084 for the week of July 27. Those are statewide benchmarks, not Peabody-specific averages, and they reflect different measurement scopes and update times.

The available EIA table view did not provide a current Massachusetts diesel figure alongside the regular-gas reading. AAA’s statewide diesel average therefore provides the clearer broader comparison for this check.

For drivers planning weekend travel or regular work routes, the main takeaway is the verified station-level range: regular gas differs by about 23 cents between the cited Peabody listings, while diesel is above $5 at both. Share the highest and lowest pump prices you are seeing around Peabody.
