The figures measure different things. The $3.539 regular-gas price is a posted price at one specific station, not a citywide average. The diesel number is a station-listing average, with prices ranging from approximately $4.69 to $4.89 per gallon.

Regular gas is below the metro benchmark

The 7-Eleven price at 909 SW Oldham Parkway was about 27 cents below the Kansas City, Missouri-only regular-gas average reported by AAA. AAA’s Wednesday benchmark was $3.8116 per gallon.

AAA’s metro figure was down from $3.8205 the previous day and below $3.8513 a week earlier. Regular gasoline in the broader metro data was therefore lower than both the prior-day and prior-week benchmarks, although prices can vary significantly from one station to another.

Diesel is close to the metro average

Lee’s Summit-area diesel listings averaged approximately $4.82 per gallon. That was slightly below AAA’s Kansas City, Missouri-only diesel benchmark of $4.8662.

AAA reported the metro diesel average at $4.8753 the previous day and $4.8664 a week earlier. Diesel was lower than the prior day but essentially unchanged from the previous week in the metro data.

What the spread means locally

For commuters and households, the difference between a station-level price and the metro average is a reminder to compare locations before filling up. A driver buying 15 gallons would pay about $4.09 more at $3.8116 than at $3.539, before considering rewards or payment discounts.

Diesel costs matter differently for contractors, delivery drivers, landscapers, service companies and businesses that operate work trucks. Restaurants and other local businesses may also feel fuel costs indirectly through deliveries and supplier transportation, while weekend travelers and people attending local events may see a larger difference depending on where they stop.

These numbers do not establish a citywide trend by themselves. They show a current Lee’s Summit station price, a local diesel listing average and a broader Kansas City metro benchmark. The 7-Eleven listing says its price information is updated within 24 hours, so prices may change after this snapshot.

Costco’s official warehouse page lists regular gasoline at $5.29 per gallon and diesel at $6.69 as of the August 5 check. An independent station listing for the same location shows $5.40 for regular and $6.50 for diesel, with those prices marked as updated minutes before the page was checked.

Regular gasoline is lower on Costco’s official listing

The official Costco price puts regular gasoline 11 cents below the $5.40 listed in the previous same-site check on July 31. The independent listing, however, still shows regular at $5.40, so the safest description is that current online listings place regular gasoline at roughly $5.29 to $5.40 per gallon at the Temecula warehouse.

That difference matters for drivers filling larger tanks, but it should not be treated as proof that every pump at the station is displaying one specific price. Costco says its online prices are updated frequently and may not match the price posted at the pump when a purchase is made.

Diesel movement remains unclear

Diesel prices are even harder to characterize. Costco’s official listing shows $6.69 per gallon, while the independent listing shows $6.50. The $6.50 independent figure matches the previous same-site check, but the official listing is 19 cents higher than that earlier comparison.

Because the current sources conflict, the available data does not establish whether diesel has risen, fallen or remained flat since July 31. Diesel drivers, contractors, delivery operators and service businesses should confirm the pump price before making a special trip.

AAA Riverside averages provide broader context

AAA’s Riverside-area table lists a current average of $5.5909 for regular gasoline and $6.9945 for diesel. The regular average was $5.6060 the previous day and $5.5897 one week earlier. Diesel was $7.0089 the previous day and $6.9502 one week earlier.

Those figures are Riverside-area averages, not a Temecula-wide average. They show that both current Costco listings are below the broader Riverside diesel average, while the listed regular prices are also below the Riverside regular average.

Why the station-level difference matters

For a commuter, an 11-cent difference on a 15-gallon fill-up is about $1.65. For a contractor, delivery driver or service business buying substantially more fuel, even small price differences can add up across several vehicles and multiple trips.

Weekend travelers and households planning longer drives may also benefit from checking nearby stations before leaving. The City of Temecula says gasoline prices can vary by as much as 20% within only a few blocks and directs motorists to local price-comparison resources.

The Costco and independent listings should therefore be treated as online reference points rather than guaranteed pump prices. Check the posted price at the station before fueling, especially when diesel prices do not match across sources.

The figures are metro averages rather than the posted price at every station in Vallejo. Individual pumps can vary by location, brand and update time, so drivers should compare nearby stations before filling up.

Regular gas is nearly flat for the week but higher over longer periods

Regular gas was up 0.13 cents from a week earlier, a change that is effectively flat for most drivers. The longer comparisons show more pressure: the metro average rose 16.91 cents from one month earlier and was 94.87 cents higher than a year ago.

That combination means a small one-day dip does not erase the larger increase households have absorbed over the past year. For daily commuters, even modest changes can add up across repeated trips, especially for people driving long distances to work, school, medical appointments or errands.

Diesel rises and shows the larger increase

Diesel moved in the opposite direction on August 5. The Vallejo-Fairfield average rose 0.72 cents from the previous day, increased 4.87 cents from the prior week and climbed 45.79 cents from one month earlier. Compared with a year ago, diesel was up $1.5084 per gallon.

The sharper diesel increase matters directly for delivery vehicles, contractors, landscapers, repair crews, construction equipment and other commercial operations. Higher fuel costs can affect delivery routes, service calls and operating budgets, and businesses may eventually weigh whether to absorb those costs or pass some of them through to customers.

What Vallejo drivers should watch

AAA’s California average on August 5 was $5.6377 for regular gas and $6.9064 for diesel, providing statewide context but not a substitute for the Vallejo-Fairfield figures. The U.S. Energy Information Administration also tracks California gasoline and diesel prices on a weekly basis, though those figures are broader and may not move at the same pace as the daily metro update.

For commuters and weekend travelers, the practical question remains the price at the station near home, work or the highway. Restaurants, delivery businesses and other fuel-dependent services may also feel the effects through transportation and supply costs.

AAA lists Cedar Rapids metro regular gasoline at $3.847 per gallon and diesel at $5.178. The figures are shown as prices as of August 4, 2026.

Both fuel types are higher than the prior comparisons

AAA’s Cedar Rapids row lists regular gas at $3.841 the previous day and $3.740 a week earlier. That means the latest regular-gas average is up 0.6 cents from the previous day and 10.7 cents from a week earlier.

Diesel is also higher in the latest comparison. AAA lists diesel at $5.082 the previous day and $5.060 a week earlier, putting the current average up 9.6 cents day over day and 11.8 cents from a week earlier.

Local pump prices can differ

A station-level listing for Sam’s Club at 2605 Blairs Ferry Road NE in Cedar Rapids showed regular gas at $3.78 per gallon, with the listing updated shortly before publication. That is an individual station snapshot, not a citywide or metro average.

Drivers may see different prices depending on the station, membership requirements, payment method and timing. Pump prices can change faster than a metro average, so commuters and weekend travelers should check nearby locations before filling up.

Why the difference matters

Higher regular-gas prices affect household and commuting budgets, while diesel costs matter especially for contractors, delivery operators, farmers, truck drivers and service businesses using heavier vehicles. Fuel expenses can also affect businesses that move supplies or rely on deliveries, including restaurants and other local operators.

United Airlines said July 15 that fuel prices had added $575 million to its projected third-quarter fuel expense since the beginning of July and nearly $6 billion to its anticipated full-year 2026 fuel bill compared with expectations at the start of the year. On July 23, American Airlines lowered its full-year adjusted earnings outlook to a range from a loss of 65 cents per share to a profit of 65 cents.

What changed at United and American

United said it was assuming an all-in third-quarter fuel price of about $3.69 per gallon, based on the Gulf Coast jet forward curve as of July 14. The company said it expects to recover 80% to 90% of the third-quarter fuel increase through stronger revenue and 100% by the fourth quarter. Those are company projections, not guarantees.

United also said its fourth-quarter capacity was expected to decline from current published schedules as part of its normal course of planning and that it was prepared to moderate near-term capacity further if fuel remained elevated. Its second-quarter results showed fuel expense of $5.11 billion, up $2.3 billion, or about 84%, from a year earlier. United said it recovered approximately half of that increase through revenue. It nevertheless raised its full-year adjusted earnings-per-share guidance to $9 to $11, assuming its fuel and revenue expectations hold.

American reported record second-quarter revenue of $16.7 billion and said strong demand and commercial execution offset nearly half of a more than $2.2 billion year-over-year increase in fuel expense. The company said second-quarter fuel expense rose more than 83% and that it expects third-quarter fuel expense to be up $1.7 billion year over year, based on a forward fuel curve of about $3.75 per gallon as of July 21. Given the higher fuel cost, American lowered its full-year adjusted earnings outlook to between a loss of 65 cents and a profit of 65 cents per diluted share.

Why fuel hits before fares can catch up

Airlines buy and consume fuel continuously, so a sharp move in energy markets can affect operating costs almost immediately. Ticket prices work differently. A fare increase applies only to tickets sold after the change, and airlines must balance higher prices against demand, competition and the risk of leaving seats empty.

That timing mismatch can weaken earnings before a carrier has enough new bookings at higher prices to offset the added expense. Reuters reported that major airlines were using fuel assumptions based on different dates, making earnings outlooks issued only days apart difficult to compare. That helps explain why carriers can announce sharply different guidance within a short period.

What the national data show

The Transportation Department’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported that scheduled U.S. airlines spent $6.66 billion on fuel in May 2026, up 83.9% from May 2025. They used 1.627 billion gallons, down 0.6% from a year earlier. The increase therefore reflected substantially higher fuel costs rather than a comparable increase in fuel consumption.

BTS reported an average domestic fare of $428 in the first quarter, up 4.7% from the fourth quarter of 2025. That figure predates the sharpest July fuel increase and should not be treated as a measure of how much airlines have since passed through to travelers. BTS said the fare series uses its newer 40% ticket-sampling methodology, which began July 1, 2025.

BTS also cautions that its fuel statistics may be revised, are reported in current dollars and can be affected by hedging and carrier reporting coverage. The figures reflect fuel paid for by carriers, not simply the spot price on a particular day.

How airlines can respond

Carriers can raise fares, increase revenue from premium cabins and loyalty programs, adjust schedules, trim less-profitable flying, defer some spending or use cash and borrowing capacity to absorb part of the shock. Each choice has limits. Higher fares can reduce demand, while capacity cuts can protect margins but make some routes less convenient and reduce the number of available seats.

United’s disclosure shows that capacity decisions are part of its response planning. American, meanwhile, reported that its second-quarter capacity grew 5.4% year over year and projected third-quarter available-seat-mile growth of 3% to 5%. The difference underscores that a fuel shock does not automatically produce the same response at every airline.

Neither company’s announcement establishes that broad job cuts are coming, and the selected evidence does not document a national airline layoff program. Fuel pressure could affect hiring, fleet timing, investment or schedules if it persists, but those effects remain risks to watch rather than confirmed outcomes.

What travelers and workers should watch

Travelers may see pressure on fares or schedules, but the timing and size of any change will vary by airline, route and booking date. A fuel spike does not automatically produce an equivalent fare increase, particularly when carriers are competing for demand.

The next signals will be updated fuel assumptions, third-quarter earnings, capacity changes, fare data and guidance from other major carriers. For workers, the more immediate indicators are changes in hiring plans, fleet deliveries, schedules and investment—not assumptions about layoffs that have not been announced.

The airline outlook now depends on two moving targets: where fuel prices go next and how quickly carriers can recover the added cost through revenue without weakening travel demand.

The 7-Eleven at 707 U.S. Highway 183 lists regular gas at $3.399 per gallon and diesel at $5.199 per gallon. The station page says its gas prices were updated within 24 hours of the listing.

Those are station-level prices, not a citywide average for Leander. Compared with the previous check at that same location on July 31, regular gas is up about $1.02 per gallon, while diesel is up about $2.30 per gallon.

Prices vary across Leander

A second 7-Eleven listing at 1870 South Bagdad Road shows regular gas at $3.829 per gallon and diesel at $4.729 per gallon. That puts regular gas about 43 cents higher than the U.S. Highway 183 listing, while diesel is about 47 cents lower.

The comparison shows why drivers should check more than one location before filling up. Prices can differ meaningfully between stations, even within the same city and along nearby routes.

AAA shows mixed movement statewide

AAA listed the Texas average on August 4 at $3.603 per gallon for regular gas and $5.016 for diesel. Those figures are statewide benchmarks and should not be treated as Leander pump averages.

AAA’s Texas regular-gas average was lower than a week earlier, when it was listed at $3.672. Diesel, however, was slightly higher than its week-ago average of $4.981. The statewide figures therefore show different movement for the two fuels, much as the local station listings show different prices for regular gas and diesel.

What higher prices could mean locally

For commuters, a jump in regular gas can raise the cost of daily trips, school transportation and weekend travel. Households with multiple vehicles may notice the difference quickly if the higher prices persist.

Diesel matters especially for contractors, delivery operators, landscapers, service fleets and other businesses that use heavier vehicles. Higher diesel costs can add pressure to operating budgets and may eventually affect delivery charges, service pricing or the cost of moving supplies.

Restaurants and other local businesses can also feel fuel-price pressure indirectly through deliveries, employee commuting and supplier transportation. Weekend travelers and families planning longer drives may want to compare stations before leaving Leander.

AAA listed the Stockton-Lodi metro average at $5.476 per gallon for regular gasoline and $6.667 for diesel on August 4, 2026. Those figures describe the broader metro market, not a city-only average for Tracy, so individual pumps may be higher or lower.

Regular gas is slightly lower short term

The regular-gas average was down 1.3 cents from the previous day and 0.9 cents from a week earlier. The short-term easing is modest, however, compared with the longer-term increase: regular gas was 26.4 cents higher than one month ago and $1.063 higher than one year ago.

For Tracy commuters and households, that means a small day-to-day improvement has not erased the larger increase in the cost of filling a vehicle. Drivers traveling through the Stockton-Lodi market may still see meaningful differences from one station to the next, making local price comparisons worthwhile.

Diesel rises from the prior day but stays below last week

Diesel averaged $6.667 per gallon, up 1.2 cents from the previous day. It was still 2.6 cents below the previous week’s average, showing a split short-term pattern in which diesel rose daily even as its weekly comparison remained lower.

The longer-term diesel increase is more pronounced. The latest average was 36.2 cents higher than one month ago and $1.468 higher than one year ago. That larger annual increase matters beyond trucking. Diesel costs can affect delivery operators, contractors, agricultural businesses, service companies, restaurants that depend on deliveries, and other operations using diesel-powered vehicles or equipment.

What Tracy drivers should watch

The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s California data provides broader statewide context, while AAA’s Stockton-Lodi figure is the more relevant regional benchmark for Tracy-area readers. Neither source should be read as the exact price at every Tracy station. Exact-city station listings can help drivers compare individual locations, but listed observations may not update at the same time as the AAA metro average.

For residents, the practical takeaway is mixed: regular gas is a little cheaper than at the prior daily and weekly comparison points, while diesel has moved higher from the previous day. Both remain substantially more expensive than a month or a year ago, which may continue to pressure household transportation budgets and diesel-intensive local businesses.

The metro diesel average reached $5.405 per gallon, an increase of 16.8 cents from the previous day. The Salt Lake City figures are regional benchmarks rather than official West Jordan citywide averages.

Regular gas keeps climbing

AAA’s Salt Lake City metro table lists regular gasoline at $4.332 per gallon on August 4. That is:

• 14.5 cents higher than the previous day’s $4.187 average
• 8.1 cents higher than the previous week’s $4.251 average
• 62.9 cents higher than the previous month’s $3.703 average
• $1.004 higher than the previous year’s $3.328 average

For West Jordan drivers, the regional number puts the regular-gas benchmark above $4.30 per gallon, although individual stations can be higher or lower.

Diesel is above $5.40

Diesel prices are also rising, with the Salt Lake City metro average at $5.405 per gallon. AAA’s comparison table shows diesel up:

• 16.8 cents from the previous day’s $5.237 average
• 12.6 cents from the previous week’s $5.279 average
• 79.4 cents from the previous month’s $4.611 average
• $1.684 from the previous year’s $3.721 average

The diesel increase is larger than the regular-gas increase over both the one-month and one-year periods. That matters for contractors, delivery operators, landscapers, construction companies and other businesses that rely on diesel-powered vehicles and equipment.

West Jordan station snapshot

A 7-Eleven listing for 6990 S Redwood Road in West Jordan showed regular gasoline at $4.279 per gallon and diesel at $5.389. Those prices were listed as updated within 24 hours of the station-page check.

The station’s listing was 5.3 cents below the metro regular-gas average and 1.6 cents below the metro diesel average. It is a single-station snapshot, not a representative price for every pump in West Jordan, so drivers may find different prices nearby.

Utah price context

Axios Salt Lake City reported August 3 that Utah’s average regular-gas price had risen nearly 40 cents since July 4, citing AAA data. Axios also reported that the statewide average was about $4.25 per gallon as of Sunday.

AAA’s August 4 statewide table listed Utah’s average at $4.346 for regular gasoline and $5.397 for diesel. Those are statewide figures and should not be treated as West Jordan pump averages.

What higher prices may mean locally

For commuters and households, the increase can raise the cost of regular driving, errands and weekend travel. Contractors, delivery drivers and service businesses may face higher operating costs, while restaurants and other businesses that depend on deliveries could see added transportation expense.

Drivers can limit the impact by comparing nearby stations before filling up, especially because station prices can differ from the regional average and from one another.

The listings are station-level snapshots, not a citywide Menifee average. Both 7-Eleven pages state that their gas prices were updated within 24 hours, and prices can change again before a driver reaches the pump.

Regular gas ranges from $5.599 to $5.679

The 7-Eleven at 28854 McCall Boulevard listed regular gasoline at $5.599 per gallon. The 7-Eleven at 30107 Antelope Road listed regular at $5.679 per gallon.

That creates an 8-cent difference between the two listed locations. For a 15-gallon fill-up, the gap works out to about $1.20 before any loyalty-program discount or other savings.

Diesel prices are more than 40 cents apart

The McCall Boulevard location listed diesel at $7.599 per gallon, compared with $7.129 at the Antelope Road station.

The 47-cent spread matters more for drivers who buy larger volumes. Delivery fleets, contractors, landscapers, service companies and other diesel users can see a larger dollar difference on a single fill-up than a typical passenger-car driver.

California context

AAA’s California average on August 4 was listed at $5.648 for regular gasoline and $6.918 for diesel. Those are statewide averages and should not be treated as a Menifee average or as a replacement for checking a specific local station.

The local listings show why commuters and households may want to compare nearby pumps before fueling. A small price difference can add up for high-mileage workers, weekend travelers and families making repeated trips, while diesel costs can affect delivery charges and operating expenses for local service businesses.

Check the pump before fueling

Fuel listings are snapshots and may change during the day. Drivers should verify the posted pump price before purchasing, especially when planning a larger gasoline or diesel fill-up.

AAA listed the Dayton metro average for regular gasoline at $3.898 per gallon on August 3, down 1.6 cents from the previous day. That decline did not establish a sustained downward trend: the average was still 6 cents higher than a week earlier, 28.7 cents higher than a month earlier and 84.2 cents higher than a year earlier.

Diesel moves above $5 per gallon

Diesel averaged $5.281 per gallon in the Dayton metro area on August 3, up 1.3 cents from the previous day. The increase was larger across the other comparison windows. Diesel was up 30 cents from a week earlier, 60.1 cents from a month earlier and $1.641 from a year earlier.

For households, the regular-gas figure matters most directly to commuters, parents driving to activities, weekend travelers and workers whose daily routes require a car. A few cents per gallon can add up for drivers with long commutes or multiple vehicles, although individual station prices may differ from the metro average.

The diesel increase creates a different pressure point. Higher diesel costs can affect trucking, package delivery, construction, landscaping, agricultural work, maintenance fleets and other businesses that rely on heavy vehicles or equipment. Those costs may also become one factor businesses consider when setting delivery charges, service fees or prices, but the AAA data alone does not establish that local companies have changed their prices.

Metro averages are not station prices

The Dayton figures are metro averages, not a posted price at every station in the city or surrounding communities. Drivers may find lower or higher prices depending on the station, neighborhood, fuel brand, payment method and timing of the purchase.

For broader context, AAA’s Ohio average on the August 3 snapshot was $4.080 for regular gasoline and $5.276 for diesel. Those statewide figures provide context, but they should not be substituted for the Dayton metro averages when comparing local fuel costs. The U.S. Energy Information Administration also provides broader state and national fuel-price data.

The clearest local takeaway is mixed: regular gasoline eased slightly from the prior day but remained much more expensive than it was last year, while diesel continued to run higher across the day-, week-, month- and year-over-year comparisons.

Costco San Marcos lists regular gasoline at $5.299 per gallon at 725 Center Drive. A 7-Eleven at 578 E. Mission Road lists regular at $5.779 and diesel at $6.899. The 7-Eleven page says its fuel prices were updated within 24 hours, while the Costco listing says its prices were updated recently and are community-reported.

Regular gas varies by station

The difference between the two listed regular prices is $0.480 per gallon. On a 15-gallon fill-up, choosing the lower listed price would save about $7.20 before considering driving distance, membership requirements or other station-specific conditions.

These are station prices, not an official San Marcos citywide average, and they do not establish that every local station falls within the same range. Costco’s listing also warns that prices may vary and that the pump price at the time of purchase controls.

Diesel remains near $6.90

The cited East Mission Road 7-Eleven lists diesel at $6.899 per gallon. That price matters most for contractors, delivery operators, landscapers, service companies and other businesses whose vehicles use diesel regularly.

Compared with the previous local fuel-price check, the documented regular-gas spread is 2 cents wider, while diesel at the cited 7-Eleven remains at $6.899. The available continuity information does not provide the earlier station-by-station regular prices, so it does not support a precise comparison for either location.

AAA regional context

AAA’s San Diego metro table, in a price check dated August 3, 2026, shows an average of $5.753 for regular gasoline and $6.958 for diesel. The Costco regular price is below that regional average, while the East Mission Road 7-Eleven regular price is slightly above it. The listed 7-Eleven diesel price is slightly below the San Diego metro diesel average.

AAA’s same table shows San Diego metro regular gas at $5.720 a week earlier, $5.435 a month earlier and $4.553 a year earlier. Diesel was $6.873 a week earlier, $6.482 a month earlier and $5.012 a year earlier. Those comparisons indicate that both fuels remain above the listed week-, month- and year-ago regional levels, even though individual San Marcos stations differ substantially.

What drivers and businesses should watch

For households, the local spread makes station shopping meaningful when a fill-up is large or fuel use is frequent. For restaurants, contractors, delivery drivers and service businesses, diesel and gasoline costs can affect route planning, delivery expenses and operating budgets.

Prices can change quickly as station listings are updated. Drivers should check the posted pump price and any membership or payment restrictions before completing a purchase.

An independent Yakima metro tracker updated August 4 showed lower averages: $4.779 for regular gas and $5.581 for diesel. That puts the independent snapshot 6.4 cents below AAA for regular gas and 34.3 cents below AAA for diesel.

Why the trackers differ

The two figures should not be treated as measurements of the exact same stations at the exact same moment. AAA publishes a metro average with its own station coverage and update schedule, while the independent tracker uses a station-based sample and reports its own collection results. Different locations, timing and methods can produce different averages without showing that either source is definitively wrong.

The distinction matters at the pump. A metro average is useful for following the direction of prices, but an individual station may be higher or lower depending on location, competition, fuel supply and when that station last changed its price. Drivers should compare nearby stations before filling up, especially when prices are moving quickly.

What the split means locally

For commuters and households, regular-gas prices near $4.80 a gallon can add noticeably to the cost of daily driving and weekend travel. Higher diesel prices matter particularly to freight carriers, agricultural operators, construction crews, contractors, delivery drivers and service businesses that depend on diesel-powered vehicles or equipment.

Those fuel costs can also work through local business budgets. Transportation expenses affect deliveries, farm operations, restaurant supply runs, mobile repair work and other services, although the available price data does not establish how any specific Yakima business is responding.

What to watch next

The latest readings show regular gas and diesel moving lower from the prior day while remaining higher than a week earlier on the AAA measure. Diesel’s larger weekly increase is the more important trend for fuel-intensive businesses to watch. Future updates may narrow or widen the gap between published trackers as stations change prices and each service refreshes its sample.

The figures are station-level prices, not a citywide Suffolk average. The 7-Eleven listings say fuel prices are updated within 24 hours, so drivers should confirm the pump price before filling up.

Regular gas remains near $4

Regular gasoline was listed at $3.999 per gallon at 2109 N. Main St., $4.038 at 1129 Carolina Road and $4.099 at 3879 Bridge Road.

That puts the spread among the three checked regular-gas locations at about 10 cents per gallon. For a 20-gallon fill-up, choosing the lower-priced location could mean a difference of roughly $2 compared with the highest listed price.

Diesel remains above $5.25

Diesel was listed at $5.299 per gallon at 2109 N. Main St. and $5.259 at 1129 Carolina Road. The Bridge Road listing supplied a regular-gas price but no diesel figure in the reviewed information.

Compared with the previous Suffolk-area check, when regular gas was listed at $4.008 and diesel at $5.311, the regular-gas snapshot remains essentially around $4 while diesel is slightly lower at the two locations with diesel listings.

What the prices mean locally

A 10-cent station-to-station difference may be modest for a single short trip, but it matters more for high-mileage commuters, contractors, delivery drivers and service businesses that refuel frequently. Diesel costs also flow into the operating expenses of work trucks and other commercial vehicles.

Households planning weekend travel can save by comparing nearby stations before leaving. Restaurants, contractors, delivery operators and other businesses may also feel fuel costs through vehicle expenses and deliveries, even when customers do not see the pump price directly.

State context

AAA’s Virginia fuel-price page provides broader state and market context, but it does not display a Suffolk metro average. That is why this update uses individual Suffolk station listings rather than presenting a citywide average.

Prices can change within a day. If you are driving across Suffolk, checking more than one nearby station may reveal a meaningful difference, especially for larger vehicle tanks or repeated commercial stops.

Regular gas is down for the day, up over longer comparisons

AAA’s Spokane metro regular-gas average was down 0.5 cents from the previous day. It was still up 1.0 cent from a week earlier, 29.8 cents from a month earlier and 83.9 cents from a year earlier.

Washington’s statewide regular-gas average was higher at $5.127 per gallon. The national regular-gas average was $4.095, providing broader context but not a Spokane Valley pump price.

Diesel remains near $6

The Spokane metro diesel average was down 2.3 cents from the previous day, but it was up 10.4 cents from a week earlier, 39.4 cents from a month earlier and $1.059 from a year earlier.

AAA listed Washington’s diesel average at $6.163 per gallon. The statewide figure is not a Spokane Valley average, but it shows the continued cost pressure facing diesel users across the region.

Local stations can vary widely

A Spokane Valley station-listing page showed regular gasoline prices ranging from $4.49 to $5.14 on July 19, 2026. Those were dated station listings, not a current August 3 citywide average, and individual pumps may have changed since then.

That variation makes checking more than one station worthwhile, especially for drivers making large fill-ups. Commuters and households may notice the difference over a full tank, while contractors, delivery drivers, trucking operators and service businesses face additional exposure through diesel and gasoline use.

Fuel costs can also work through local operating expenses for restaurants, suppliers, landscapers and other businesses that depend on deliveries or vehicle fleets. Weekend travelers may want to compare prices along their route before leaving Spokane Valley.

The latest AAA Michigan fuel-price table lists the metro average at $4.401 per gallon for regular gasoline and $5.454 for diesel.

Regular gas and diesel moved differently

Regular gasoline fell 2.8 cents from the previous day’s $4.429 average. Diesel slipped about one-tenth of a cent from $5.455, making its daily movement effectively flat.

The larger trend remains upward. Regular gas is 15.9 cents higher than a week ago and $1.355 higher than a year ago. Diesel is up 23 cents from last week and $1.693 from a year earlier.

Compared with the July 29 fuel-price check, when regular gas was reported at $4.177 and diesel at $5.368 in the Lansing-East Lansing metro, both current averages are higher. The current AAA table is the source for Monday’s prices.

What the prices mean locally

For commuters and households, the small day-to-day decline in regular gas does not erase the effect of prices that remain more than a dollar above last year’s level. Drivers making long commutes, taking summer trips or managing multiple vehicles may see the difference most clearly in weekly fuel budgets.

Diesel matters especially for freight carriers, contractors, delivery drivers, farmers, utilities and other service businesses that operate work trucks or heavy equipment. Higher diesel costs can add pressure to operating budgets, even when the daily change at the pump is minimal.

Restaurants, retailers and other businesses that rely on deliveries or service vehicles may also have fuel expenses to watch. Those costs do not automatically translate into higher prices, but sustained fuel increases can become one factor in business planning and household spending decisions.

Broader Michigan and Midwest context

The U.S. Energy Information Administration reported a July 27 Midwest weekly gasoline average of $3.968 per gallon, a regional figure that is not a substitute for the Lansing metro average. The Michigan Public Service Commission has also described broader energy-cost uncertainty and potential effects on Michigan consumers and businesses.

Metro averages do not represent every station. Prices can vary by neighborhood, brand, payment method and time of day, so drivers should compare nearby pumps before filling up.

AAA’s Manchester metro averages dated August 3, 2026, put regular gasoline at $4.067 per gallon, unchanged from the previous day. Diesel averaged $5.401 per gallon, down 1.4 cents from yesterday.

Regular gas remains nearly flat

The Manchester metro regular-gas average is up 0.2 cents from a week ago, 19.4 cents from a month ago and $1.072 from a year ago. That means gasoline users may see little immediate day-to-day change, even though the monthly and yearly comparisons remain substantially higher.

The current metro figure is an average, not a price at every station. Individual pumps can be higher or lower depending on location, competition and when the station last changed its price.

Diesel falls for one day but stays elevated

Diesel’s one-day decline was sharper than the movement in regular gasoline, but the broader trend remains costly for drivers and businesses that rely on diesel equipment. The Manchester metro diesel average is up 3.1 cents from last week, 26.8 cents from a month ago and $1.560 from a year ago.

That matters most for diesel-reliant commuters, contractors, delivery drivers, landscapers, repair companies and other service operators. Fuel is one of the operating costs that can affect route planning, vehicle use and the price of jobs or deliveries, although there is no single local price response attached to Monday’s change.

Compared with the last check

Compared with the previous July 29 price check, regular gas is 0.8 cents lower while diesel is 1.5 cents higher. The latest update therefore shows different movements by fuel type: gasoline has edged down since that check, while diesel has moved slightly higher despite Monday’s daily decline.

For broader context, the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s latest displayed New England release, dated July 27, listed regional averages of $4.067 for regular gasoline and $5.518 for diesel. Those regional figures provide context but do not replace AAA’s current Manchester metro averages.

Drivers should compare nearby stations before filling up because local pump prices can vary. Manchester-area readers: What are the highest and lowest regular-gas or diesel prices you are seeing locally?

AAA listed the metro average for regular gasoline at $3.802 per gallon on Monday, August 3. That was down 1.7 cents from the previous day and 15.9 cents from a week earlier.

Regular gas falls from last week

The latest regular-gas average was also below AAA’s July 29 Lakeland-Winter Haven check, when the metro average was $3.907 per gallon. The current figure is a metro average, so prices at individual stations across Lakeland and Winter Haven may be higher or lower.

Despite the recent easing, regular gasoline remained 82 cents more expensive than the year-ago average of $2.982, according to AAA’s comparison data.

Diesel remains above $5.30

Diesel averaged $5.334 per gallon in the latest metro snapshot. That was down 0.7 cents from the previous day and 12.7 cents from a week earlier.

Diesel was also below the $5.427 average reported in AAA’s July 29 check. Even after that decline, the latest diesel average was $1.727 higher than the year-ago figure of $3.607.

The diesel level matters beyond drivers of pickup trucks and passenger vehicles. Higher diesel costs can affect contractors, delivery operators, farmers, restaurants, service businesses and other companies that rely on commercial vehicles or equipment. For households and commuters, the recent declines may offer some relief, but the year-over-year gap remains a cost to watch when planning regular driving or weekend travel.

Why prices remain elevated

In a July 30 national update, AAA said crude oil prices remained in the $80-per-barrel range amid continued market instability. AAA also noted that August often brings some seasonal relief as summer road trips wind down, although elevated crude prices could delay that pattern.

Local motorists should compare nearby stations before filling up because the Lakeland-Winter Haven figures are averages rather than a guarantee of what any one pump will charge.

The Columbia metro average was $3.776 per gallon for regular gasoline and $4.910 per gallon for diesel. AAA’s figures are metro averages, not the price at every Columbia station.

Regular gas eased, but remains well above last year

Regular gasoline was down 0.4 cents from the previous day and 2.9 cents from a week earlier. The average was still 31.1 cents higher than a month ago and 81.4 cents higher than a year ago.

That means gasoline commuters may see modest short-term relief compared with the previous day and week, even as fuel remains substantially more expensive than it was last summer. Households planning weekend travel or trips to local events may still notice the difference when filling a larger vehicle or making multiple stops.

Diesel moved higher across every comparison

Diesel averaged $4.910 per gallon in the Columbia metro, up 4.0 cents from the previous day and 9.7 cents from a week earlier. It was also 39.1 cents higher than a month ago and $1.377 higher than a year ago.

The increase matters beyond drivers of diesel pickups. Contractors, delivery operators, farmers, freight carriers and service businesses can face higher operating costs when trucks and equipment require more expensive fuel. Those costs can also affect supply runs for restaurants and retailers, construction work and mobile service calls.

ABC 17’s reporting on diesel costs and Columbia-area grocery and retail prices has documented how fuel expenses can work through delivery and business operations. The current AAA averages do not establish that every local company has changed its prices, but they show why diesel users may be watching costs closely.

Broader fuel-market context

The U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes separate national and regional gasoline and diesel data each week. Those figures provide broader market context, but they should not be substituted for Columbia’s metro averages or treated as the price at a local pump.

Station prices can vary across Columbia based on location, competition, fuel grade and timing. Drivers and businesses may want to compare nearby stations before filling up, especially when a vehicle or equipment tank is large.

The station listing says the fuel prices were updated within 24 hours. These are prices at one Carrollton station, not a verified citywide average, but they provide a current benchmark for local drivers.

Regular gas is down from the last check

Compared with the previous same-site check on July 29, regular gasoline is down about 24.3 cents per gallon, from $3.642 to $3.399. For a 15-gallon fill-up, that difference works out to roughly $3.65 less before taxes, fees or any change in the posted price.

AAA’s Texas price check dated August 3 listed the statewide average for regular gasoline at $3.595 per gallon. The Josey Lane listing is therefore about 19.6 cents below the Texas average. That comparison provides statewide context but does not show how every station in Carrollton is pricing fuel.

Diesel is moving the other way

Diesel at the same station rose from $5.147 on July 29 to $5.179, an increase of about 3.2 cents per gallon. The move is smaller than gasoline’s decline, but it matters more for drivers and businesses that buy larger volumes of diesel.

AAA listed the Texas diesel average at $5.029 on August 3. The Carrollton station’s posted diesel price was therefore about 15 cents above the statewide average. A 25-gallon diesel purchase at that difference would cost about $3.75 more than it would at the Texas-average price, assuming the comparison held at the pump.

Who may feel the difference

Lower regular gasoline can help commuters, households and weekend travelers trim the cost of filling a tank, especially for people driving long distances each week. The higher diesel listing is more relevant to delivery operators, contractors, service businesses, restaurants and other companies that depend on diesel-powered vehicles or equipment.

Fuel costs can also affect delivery charges, service-call pricing and operating budgets, although these listings alone do not show that Carrollton businesses have changed their prices or schedules.

What Carrollton drivers should watch

Station-to-station differences can be significant, so drivers should compare nearby locations before treating this listing as the local norm. The clearest takeaway is the split movement: regular gas is below the Texas average at the checked station, while diesel is above it.

The 7-Eleven at 18222 SE Division St. listed regular gasoline at $4.559 per gallon and diesel at $5.449 per gallon on August 2. The station listing says its fuel prices were updated within 24 hours.

Regular gas rises 10 cents

Regular gasoline at the tracked station increased 10 cents from the July 29 same-site check, when it was listed at $4.459 per gallon.

That change adds to the cost of filling a typical household vehicle, especially for commuters and residents making repeated trips for work, school, medical appointments, errands or weekend travel. The listed price applies to this station and should not be treated as the average price across Gresham.

Diesel rises 13 cents

Diesel climbed 13 cents from the previous same-site check, rising from $5.319 to $5.449 per gallon at the Division Street station.

Diesel prices can affect operating costs for contractors, delivery drivers, landscapers, service businesses and other operators using work trucks or commercial vehicles. Those costs can also put pressure on local deliveries and service calls, although the available price data does not document specific business reactions in Gresham.

How Gresham compares with broader figures

AAA’s July 31 Portland-Vancouver, Oregon-only metro averages were $4.719 for regular gas and $5.533 for diesel. Those are broader metro comparison figures, not a citywide Gresham average.

AAA’s Oregon statewide averages on August 2 were $4.646 for regular gasoline and $5.523 for diesel. The tracked Gresham station was below those statewide averages for both fuels, but one station listing does not represent every pump in the city.

For national context, the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s latest weekly figures, released July 28 for the week of July 27, showed regular gasoline at $4.096 per gallon and on-highway diesel at $5.313 per gallon.

Check prices before filling up

Prices can vary from one station to another, even within the same community. Drivers planning a commute, work route or weekend trip should compare nearby pumps before filling up, while businesses that use diesel should account for the possibility of higher fuel costs between price checks.

AAA listed the Topeka metro average for regular gasoline at $3.680 per gallon and diesel at $4.901 per gallon. Those are metro averages, not the price every driver will see at every station, and pump prices can vary by location, payment method and fuel grade.

Regular gas is down slightly in the short term

The Topeka metro regular-gas average was down 0.1 cent from the previous day and down 2.7 cents from the previous week. The modest easing has not erased larger increases over longer periods: the average was up 22.2 cents from one month earlier and up 85.6 cents from one year earlier.

For commuters and households, that means a small amount of short-term relief at the pump, but gasoline remains substantially more expensive than it was last summer. Drivers planning weekend trips or regular cross-town travel may still benefit from comparing nearby stations before filling up.

Diesel continues to climb

Diesel followed the opposite direction in the latest AAA comparison. The Topeka metro average rose 0.3 cent from the previous day and 8.3 cents from the previous week. It was also up 63.1 cents from the previous month and $1.449 from the previous year.

That increase matters beyond the pump. Diesel is commonly used by freight and delivery vehicles, farm equipment, contractor trucks, generators and other work vehicles. Higher diesel costs can add pressure to operating budgets for contractors, delivery operators, service businesses, restaurants making supply runs and farms moving equipment or products.

Broader Midwest context

The latest U.S. Energy Information Administration weekly update, released July 28 using prices from July 27, put the broader Midwest average at $3.882 per gallon for regular gasoline and $5.196 for on-highway diesel. Those figures cover the Midwest region and should not be treated as a same-day Topeka reading, but they provide broader context for the local price trend.

For Topeka drivers, the practical takeaway is that gasoline has eased modestly over the past day and week while diesel remains on a broad upward track across AAA’s monthly and yearly comparisons. Actual prices can differ significantly from the metro average, so checking several nearby pumps may help households and businesses manage fuel costs.

AAA’s Athens figures are metro averages, not guaranteed prices at every station in Athens or the surrounding area. Individual pumps can be higher or lower depending on location, competition and when the station last updated its price.

Regular gas is lower than yesterday and last week

The Athens metro regular-gas average fell 1.1 cents from the previous day’s $3.814 price and is down 12 cents from a week earlier, when AAA listed the average at $3.923.

The longer comparisons remain less favorable for drivers. Regular gas is up 26 cents from a month ago and 89.4 cents from the same period last year. The recent daily and weekly declines therefore have not erased the larger increase households have absorbed since June or August 2025.

Diesel remains above $5 per gallon

Diesel averaged $5.224 per gallon in the latest Athens reading, down 1.1 cents from the previous day and 3.5 cents from a week earlier. Diesel is still 56.9 cents higher than a month ago and $1.679 higher than a year ago.

That split matters for more than motorists. Higher diesel costs can affect delivery routes, contractor travel, farm operations, landscaping, construction, restaurant supply runs and service businesses that rely on work vehicles. For households, fuel remains a cost to watch when planning commutes, errands and weekend travel.

Station prices can vary

The U.S. Energy Information Administration maintains broader gasoline and diesel market reporting, but national and state figures do not replace the Athens-specific AAA metro average. Drivers should compare nearby stations before filling up, especially when buying larger amounts of fuel or diesel.

For now, the Athens trend is modestly better over the past day and week, while the month-over-month and year-over-year comparisons remain sharply higher. Share the highest and lowest pump prices you are seeing around Athens.
