Richmond Gas and Diesel: $5.599 Gas, $6.899 Diesel at 7-Eleven

A 7-Eleven station at 925 Cutting Blvd. in Richmond lists regular gasoline at $5.599 per gallon and diesel at $6.899 per gallon as of August 1, 2026.

Those are station-level prices, not a verified Richmond-wide average. The 7-Eleven listing says gas prices are updated within 24 hours, so the figures can change and may not match prices at other Richmond stations.

Regular gas is below the current Oakland metro average

AAA’s California fuel-price table lists the Oakland metro average for regular gasoline at $5.647 per gallon on August 1. That is 4.8 cents higher than the Cutting Boulevard station’s listed price.

The comparison is useful, but it does not establish a Richmond average. Oakland metro data covers a broader area and uses a different collection method than a single retailer’s station listing. Drivers should treat the 7-Eleven price as a concrete Richmond pump check rather than a measure of every station in the city.

For additional dated context, Way’s Richmond price page lists regular gasoline at $5.26 and diesel at $5.81 in its week- and month-ago average fields. The page’s individual Richmond station entries are dated July 19, so those figures should not be read as August 1 prices.

Diesel is a separate cost issue

AAA lists the Oakland metro diesel average at $6.868 on August 1. The Richmond 7-Eleven’s listed diesel price is therefore 3.1 cents higher than that metro figure.

Diesel costs matter especially for contractors, delivery operators, landscapers, repair companies, restaurants that rely on supply deliveries and other service businesses using commercial vehicles. The effect on any individual operation depends on mileage, vehicle efficiency, trip volume and whether fuel costs are passed through to customers.

Households and weekend travelers also have a reason to compare nearby stations before filling up. A small difference per gallon can add up for larger vehicles, work trucks and drivers making frequent trips, while diesel users may face a different price pattern from regular-gas buyers.

What Richmond drivers should watch

The latest snapshot shows regular gasoline and diesel at different prices, and a single station cannot establish a citywide trend. Drivers should check several Richmond locations before buying, particularly along Cutting Boulevard, Macdonald Avenue and San Pablo Avenue.
