The 7-Eleven at 900 SW 10th St. in Deerfield Beach listed regular gasoline at $3.999 per gallon. That is a single-station price, not a citywide Deerfield Beach average. AAA reported a Fort Lauderdale metro average of $3.955 for regular gas and $5.407 for diesel.

Regular gas is moving in different directions

AAA’s regular-gas average rose 4.6 cents from the prior day but was 3.8 cents lower than a week earlier. The metro average was still 13 cents higher than a month earlier and $1.003 above the year-ago level.

That combination gives drivers a mixed picture. The week-to-week decline may offer some short-term relief, but the monthly and annual comparisons show that pump prices remain considerably higher than they were earlier in the year and at the same point last year.

Diesel remains above $5.40

Diesel followed a different pattern. AAA’s Fort Lauderdale metro average increased by 0.5 cents from the previous day and fell 4.1 cents over the week. But it was up 81.6 cents from a month earlier and $1.884 higher than a year earlier.

The local 7-Eleven listing did not provide a diesel price, so the $5.407 figure should be read as a metro average rather than a verified pump price at that Deerfield Beach station.

Why the split matters locally

For commuters and households, regular gasoline near $4 at a local station can make routine driving, school trips and weekend travel more expensive, particularly for residents filling larger vehicles or making frequent long-distance commutes.

Diesel affects a different set of local costs. Contractors, landscapers, delivery companies, freight operators and other vehicle-intensive businesses often rely on diesel-powered trucks and equipment. Higher fuel expenses can become part of operating costs, although the available price data does not establish how any particular Deerfield Beach business is responding.

Restaurants and service businesses may also watch diesel prices because deliveries, supply runs and maintenance vehicles can add to transportation expenses. Those effects vary by company and are not necessarily passed directly to customers.

Compare the station price with the broader average

The Deerfield Beach listing was 4.4 cents above AAA’s Fort Lauderdale metro regular-gas average on August 4. That difference does not mean the station was unusually expensive or that every Deerfield Beach location was below $3.999; station prices can vary by location, brand, timing and payment method.

Drivers checking prices should compare multiple stations before filling up, especially when a single listing is being compared with a metro-wide average. Share the highest and lowest pump prices you are seeing in Deerfield Beach.

Those are prices at one station, not a citywide New Bedford average. Cumberland Farms also warns that fuel prices can change throughout the day, so drivers should check the pump or retailer listing before filling up.

Regular gas: $3.76 at Acushnet Avenue station

The Cumberland Farms regular-gas price was below the current AAA Massachusetts average of $4.125 per gallon and below AAA’s nearby Seekonk metro average of $4.005. AAA listed both comparison figures as current on Aug. 1.

A separate 7-Eleven listing for 45 Coggeshall Street in New Bedford showed regular gas at $3.999 and said its fuel prices had been updated within 24 hours. That second listing is another station reference, but it does not establish a citywide average or show that every New Bedford station is priced similarly.

Diesel: $4.99 at the Cumberland Farms location

The Acushnet Avenue station listed diesel at $4.99 per gallon. That was below AAA’s current Massachusetts diesel average of $5.478 and below the Seekonk metro diesel average of $5.344.

Diesel prices matter especially to contractors, delivery operators, landscapers, service fleets and other businesses that use heavier vehicles. A lower-priced station can reduce the cost of an individual fill-up, although the practical savings depend on the vehicle’s tank size, route and how much fuel is purchased.

What New Bedford drivers should watch

For commuters and households, even small differences between stations can affect the cost of a weekly fill-up. Delivery drivers, weekend travelers and local service businesses may also see a larger effect when fuel purchases are frequent or involve multiple vehicles.

AAA’s Massachusetts and Seekonk figures provide statewide and regional context; they should not be read as the average price at every New Bedford pump. Station prices can differ by retailer, location, payment program and time of day.

Before heading to the pump, drivers should check the latest posted price and distinguish regular gasoline from diesel when comparing stations. What are the highest and lowest regular-gas and diesel prices you are seeing around New Bedford? Share them with us.

Both fuel categories eased slightly from the previous day and the previous week. The short-term change is modest, however, and both remain substantially more expensive than they were one month and one year ago.

Regular gasoline remains just under $4.20

AAA’s Rapid City metro average for regular gasoline is down 0.8 cents from Friday and down 1.4 cents from the previous Saturday. The current average is still 25.0 cents higher than one month ago and 97.8 cents higher than the same time last year.

At the metro average, a 15-gallon fill-up would cost about $62.93. The total at an individual station can vary by location, fuel grade, timing and other local pricing differences.

Diesel remains just below $5

Diesel is averaging $4.973 per gallon in the Rapid City metro. That is 0.3 cents lower than the previous day and 0.8 cents lower than a week earlier.

The longer-term increase is larger: diesel is up 40.7 cents from one month ago and $1.435 from one year ago. A 50-gallon fill-up at the metro average would cost about $248.65 before station-specific differences.

What higher fuel costs mean locally

The slight easing may provide limited relief for commuters and households, but the larger increase since last year continues to raise operating costs for fuel-dependent work. Contractors, delivery operators, farmers, restaurants, repair companies and other service businesses may feel the impact through vehicle, equipment and delivery expenses.

Weekend travelers may also notice the difference on longer drives across western South Dakota. Higher fuel costs can affect trip budgets and the cost of transporting goods and supplies, although the AAA averages do not show how any individual business or household is responding.

For broader context, the U.S. Energy Information Administration‘s July 27 data put the Rocky Mountain regional average at $4.083 for regular gasoline and $5.141 for on-highway diesel. Those figures are regional and updated weekly, so they do not replace AAA’s more current Rapid City metro averages. KOTA Radio reported July 27 that regular gasoline in the Rapid City area was averaging about $4.20 per gallon.

AAA’s figures are metro averages, not the price at every Rapid City station. Share the highest and lowest pump prices you are seeing locally, along with the fuel grade and neighborhood.

Regular gas falls, but remains well above earlier levels

AAA listed the New Orleans metro average for regular gasoline at $3.652 per gallon in its July 31 check. That was 1.5 cents lower than the previous day’s $3.667 average and 2.6 cents below the $3.678 average from a week earlier.

The short-term decline has not erased the longer-term increase. Friday’s average was 18.8 cents higher than the $3.464 average from a month earlier and 85.5 cents above the $2.797 average from a year earlier.

AAA’s figure is a metro average, not a guaranteed price at every station. Drivers may see different prices depending on the neighborhood, retailer, payment method and other station-level factors.

Diesel rises to $4.999

Diesel moved in the opposite direction. AAA reported a New Orleans metro average of $4.999 per gallon, up 1.3 cents from Thursday’s $4.986 and 4.7 cents above the $4.952 average listed a week earlier.

The increase is larger over longer comparison periods. Friday’s diesel average was 52.2 cents higher than the $4.477 average from a month earlier and $1.610 above the $3.389 average from a year earlier.

That puts diesel just below $5 per gallon in the latest local metro reading, even as regular gasoline is easing on the daily and weekly comparisons.

New Orleans prices compared with national averages

The U.S. Energy Information Administration‘s weekly figures, released July 28 for the week of July 27, put national regular gasoline at $4.096 per gallon and on-highway diesel at $5.313. Those figures provide broader context, but they are not a substitute for the New Orleans metro averages.

Associated Press reporting has also noted that higher diesel prices can raise transportation costs for freight and other fuel-dependent sectors nationally. For New Orleans businesses, that is relevant to watch, but the local AAA figures do not by themselves identify a specific cause for this week’s movement.

What the split trend may mean locally

For commuters and households with gasoline-powered vehicles, the daily and weekly declines may offer limited relief at the pump. However, the monthly and yearly comparisons show that regular gasoline remains substantially more expensive than it was a month and a year earlier.

Delivery drivers, contractors, utility crews, home-service companies and other diesel-heavy operators are watching a different trend. A higher diesel average can increase the cost of routine routes, equipment use and service calls, although the effect on any individual business will depend on mileage, vehicle efficiency, fuel contracts and pricing decisions.

Those figures are station-level estimates, not a citywide Rockville average. Prices can differ by location, brand, payment method and loyalty discounts, so drivers should treat the listing as a local snapshot rather than a guarantee of the pump price.

Maryland regular gas eased from the previous day

The AAA Maryland fuel-price report dated July 29, 2026, put the statewide average for regular gasoline at $4.168 per gallon, down from $4.176 the day before. The Maryland average was still 4.3 cents higher than a week earlier, when it stood at $4.125.

AAA listed the national regular-gas average at $4.091 on the same date. That puts the Maryland average about 7.7 cents above the national figure, although neither number represents the price at every station in Rockville.

Diesel stayed flat statewide while remaining elevated

Diesel moved differently. AAA reported a Maryland average of $5.434 per gallon on July 29, unchanged from the prior day and 8.5 cents higher than a week earlier. The state diesel average was also 65.3 cents above its level a month earlier.

The Rockville station estimate of $4.87 is below the statewide diesel average, but diesel prices matter most to drivers and businesses that use larger quantities of fuel. Delivery operators, contractors, landscapers, repair companies and other service businesses may face higher operating costs when diesel remains elevated. Those costs can affect trip planning and margins, even when businesses do not immediately pass them on to customers.

What Rockville drivers should watch

For commuters and households, regular gasoline is the more direct expense. A few cents per gallon can make a noticeable difference over repeated fill-ups, particularly for drivers with long commutes or larger vehicles. Weekend travelers also may want to compare prices before leaving Rockville rather than assuming nearby stations are charging the same amount.

The main takeaway is the difference between a named-station estimate and broader averages: the Shell listing was below the Maryland regular-gas and diesel averages, while statewide prices moved differently from one day to the next but remained higher than a week earlier.

Regular gas: $4.261/gal in the Philadelphia-area proxy

AAA lists regular gas at $4.261/gal on 7/25/26 for the Philadelphia (PA only) row. Compared with the previous check, the average is up from $4.252/gal (+$0.009). It’s also higher versus earlier reference points: $4.145/gal a week ago (+$0.116), $3.984/gal a month ago (+$0.277), and $3.158/gal a year ago (+$1.103).

For regular-gas drivers in Feasterville-Trevose—commuters, parents shuttling kids to school and activities, and residents taking weekend trips—those week-to-week and month-to-month differences add up at fill-up time, especially when family schedules require multiple tanks per month.

Diesel: $5.590/gal, and the year-over-year gap stays wide

Diesel is still the bigger budget pressure. AAA shows diesel at $5.590/gal on 7/25/26, up from $5.576/gal yesterday (+$0.014). The diesel average is also higher than last week ($5.433/gal, +$0.157), last month ($5.310/gal, +$0.280), and last year ($3.939/gal, +$1.651).

That larger year-over-year jump matters locally because diesel is a key input for delivery and logistics, contractors and trades that run service trucks, and many of the vehicles that keep local businesses supplied and staffed. When diesel averages rise this way, companies often adjust routing, delivery schedules, and—sometimes—fuel surcharges.

National context (EIA) and why local comparison still matters

AAA’s Philadelphia numbers are metro averages, not a single Feasterville-Trevose station price. To avoid overreading the exact dollars at your nearest pump, residents should treat these figures as a directionally useful proxy and still compare nearby stations.

At the national level, EIA’s latest Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update (release covering prices through 7/20/26) shows U.S. regular gasoline up $0.146/gal from a week ago and U.S. on-highway diesel up $0.338/gal from a week ago—consistent with what drivers are likely to notice during the week.

So what for Blue Springs-area budgets?

Commuters: With regular gas higher than yesterday in the AAA metro averages, plan for fill-ups to cost more than the last round of stops—even if the exact pump price varies by station.

Delivery drivers and contractors: Diesel is also moving up versus yesterday in the AAA metro average. If you can, it may help to top off strategically on the route rather than defaulting to the same stop every time.

Households: When both regular gas and diesel run higher than yesterday, it can show up indirectly in local services that rely on fuel—everything from deliveries to weekend errands.

National context: EIA shows both fuels higher vs. a week ago

On the national side, the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s latest weekly figures (week ending 7/20/26) show U.S. regular gasoline at $4.001/gal, up $0.146/gal from the week before. EIA also lists U.S. on-highway diesel at $5.134/gal, up $0.338/gal from a week earlier.

Regular gas: up vs yesterday and last week, slightly higher than last month

For regular unleaded, the Salinas metro average was $5.693/gal as of July 23.

• Yesterday (July 22): $5.652/gal, +$0.041
• Week ago: $5.524/gal, +$0.169
• Month ago: $5.672/gal, +$0.021
• Year ago: $4.713/gal, +$0.980

What that means at the pump: even small day-to-day changes still add up for people who drive regularly. For example, a 12-gallon fill-up would cost about $0.49 more than yesterday based on the +$0.041/gal move.

Diesel: slightly higher vs yesterday, still up vs last week and year

For on-highway diesel, the Salinas metro average was $6.757/gal as of July 23.

• Yesterday (July 22): $6.734/gal, +$0.023
• Week ago: $6.576/gal, +$0.181
• Month ago: $6.774/gal, −$0.017
• Year ago: $5.490/gal, +$1.267

In plain terms, diesel is near-steady vs yesterday (just a couple cents higher), but fleets and other diesel users are paying more than they were paying a week ago. For a 30-gallon fill-up, the +$0.023/gal move works out to roughly $0.69 vs yesterday.

Context: federal weekly numbers point to elevated levels vs last year

EIA’s weekly Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update (release date July 21, 2026) continues to show U.S. regular gasoline and on-highway diesel prices higher than a week ago, and also higher than a year ago. (Those federal figures are not the same as AAA’s metro retail averages, but they help explain why overall levels can stay elevated.)

Why Salinas metro matters for Carmel readers

Salinas is a BLS-defined metro area that includes Monterey County, which is why these Salinas metro averages are used as a practical Carmel-area proxy.

Quick planning tip (fuel budgets)

Because these changes show up in cents-per-gallon, the impact can be easy to underestimate—especially for commuters with longer routes and for contractors and delivery drivers who make frequent stops or run equipment.

Regular gas: LA–Long Beach metro average up vs yesterday

On AAA’s Los Angeles–Long Beach metro row, regular gas is $5.623/gal with a price as of 7/23/26 timestamp. That’s up from $5.592/gal yesterday (+$0.031), and also higher than last week ($5.450, +$0.173), last month ($5.562, +$0.061), and last year ($4.483, +$1.140).

Diesel: on-highway prices rise vs yesterday and the recent baseline

For diesel, AAA lists $6.977/gal (price as of 7/23/26) in the same LA–Long Beach metro proxy. That’s higher than $6.940/gal yesterday (+$0.037) and up versus last week ($6.798, +$0.179), last month ($6.854, +$0.123), and last year ($5.172, +$1.805).

U.S. context: EIA says both gasoline and on-highway diesel are higher than week-ago levels

Zooming out, EIA’s latest weekly Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update (released July 21, 2026) shows U.S. regular gasoline and on-highway diesel also moving higher versus the prior week. In EIA’s table, U.S. regular gasoline is $4.001/gal for 07/20/26, up by $0.146 compared with week ago, and U.S. on-highway diesel is $5.134/gal, up by $0.338 versus week ago.

Local practical impact: budgeting for commutes, deliveries, and service routes

Because the Sierra Madre-area numbers track the LA–Long Beach metro averages, today’s increases can show up quickly in everyday costs:

• Commuters may feel it directly at the pump, especially if prices rise mid-week after prior-day discounts.
• Delivery drivers and service workers can see higher operating costs that affect route planning and how quickly businesses burn through fuel allotments.
• Contractors and small businesses that run trucks or equipment may budget tighter until fuel prices stabilize.

If you’re filling up this week, it helps to compare prices across nearby stations and watch how diesel is moving alongside regular gas on local pump signs—metro averages are useful, but they’re not a guarantee of every Sierra Madre station price.

Regular gas: AAA SD average is higher across most checkpoints

South Dakota regular (Price as of 7/21/26): $3.9210

• Yesterday: $3.8720
• Week ago: $3.6970
• Month ago: $3.8490
• Year ago: $2.9780

For commuters and families, higher regular-gas averages typically mean fewer “easy wins” when planning errands or weekend travel—especially if prices stay firm compared with last month and last year.

Diesel: higher averages keep operating costs under pressure

South Dakota diesel (Price as of 7/21/26): $4.7230

• Yesterday: $4.6250
• Week ago: $4.3280
• Month ago: $4.5050
• Year ago: $3.3480

Diesel moves can matter fast for delivery routes, construction fleets, service technicians, and farm/ranch operations—where fuel cost is part of the daily math behind bids, schedules, and operating budgets.

National context: EIA’s latest weekly on-highway averages moved up too

Looking beyond South Dakota, EIA’s Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update for the week ended 7/13/26 put U.S. on-highway regular gasoline at $3.855 (up from $3.777 the prior week) and on-highway diesel at $4.796 (up from $4.578). That same up direction is consistent with what AAA is showing for South Dakota’s statewide averages.

What to watch next—and how to compare locally

AAA is tracking South Dakota statewide averages, which are a useful benchmark for Parkston-area planning—but individual station prices in and around Parkston can run higher or lower.

Local contractors and public works staff may also watch South Dakota’s Fuel Price Index, which is based on wholesale terminal inputs and uses four-week averages (not the same thing as pump-price averages).

If you’re shopping around, it can help to compare a few nearby stations using the latest listings.

Far Rockaway is one of the Rockaways communities covered by Queens Community Board 14, and the price swings people feel at the pump ripple through neighborhood budgets—especially for anyone who drives to work, hauls gear, or routes diesel vehicles for contracts.

Regular gas: slightly higher than yesterday, up versus last week

AAA shows regular gasoline at $4.1390 per gallon as of 7/20/26. Compared with yesterday (7/19/26), regular is up from $4.1230 (a +$0.016 increase). It’s also higher than last week: $4.0240 → $4.1390.

Locally, that kind of week-over-week increase matters most for drivers doing repeated fill-ups—commuters heading in and out of the Rockaways and households planning routine errands and school runs.

Diesel: flat day-to-day, but still higher than a week ago and a year ago

On diesel, AAA lists $5.7270 per gallon as of 7/20/26. Versus yesterday (7/19/26), diesel is essentially unchanged: $5.7290 → $5.7270 (a -$0.002 change). But versus last week, diesel is clearly higher: $5.6300 → $5.7270.

The bigger long-term squeeze is still the year-ago gap: $4.1590 → $5.7270. For delivery drivers, contractors, and any local business running diesel-powered routes, that year-ago difference is the kind of cost pressure that tends to show up in pricing, service decisions, and operating budgets—even if the daily movement looks minor.

National context from EIA: gasoline and on-highway diesel both up vs week-ago

The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s weekly Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update shows the broader trend continuing upward versus the previous week. In the EIA table for the July 14, 2026 release (next update listed as July 21, 2026), U.S. regular gasoline is up +$0.078 versus week-ago, and U.S. on-highway diesel is up +$0.218 versus week-ago.

What Far Rockaway readers can do next

Because AAA’s New York metro average is a benchmark—not a promise of any specific Far Rockaway station’s price—local results can vary block-to-block. Still, the direction of change is useful for planning when you can:

• Compare nearby stations before filling, especially if you’re topping up for commuting or work routes.
• If you have flexibility, watch for timing swings from weekday to weekend, since the underlying trend can keep nudging over short windows.
• For diesel operators, budget with the year-ago level in mind, not just the day-to-day noise.

Quick hit: what changed on July 20 (AAA metro averages)

Regular gas: $3.763 per gallon on July 20, down from $3.766 yesterday. It’s higher than last week ($3.488) and last month ($3.644), and well above last year ($2.881).

Diesel: $4.514 per gallon on July 20, down from $4.519 yesterday. Diesel is higher than last week ($4.359), but lower than last month ($4.567). Diesel is also significantly higher than last year ($3.456).

National context (EIA): both products ticked up last week

At the national level, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that weekly retail averages moved higher compared with the prior week (week ending 07/13/26):

• Regular gasoline: $3.855 per gallon (up from $3.777 the prior week)
• On-highway diesel: $4.796 per gallon (up from $4.578 the prior week)

That matches the broader “day-to-day dip, but not a longer slide” signal showing up in the Paola-area proxy: yesterday-to-today is slightly down, while week-ago comparisons point to higher levels.

What it can mean locally for commuters, contractors, and diesel users

AAA’s Kansas City (KS only) metro averages are a practical stand-in for Paola-area fuel costs, but they’re not a claim about any specific Paola pump. Local prices can differ by station and route.

Still, the direction of change is useful: if you’re planning to fill up today, the current AAA numbers suggest a small savings versus yesterday—especially on diesel. For diesel-heavy businesses—delivery, construction, farming, and service fleets—the “week up, month down” pattern is a reminder to watch how quickly operating costs respond, since even a few pennies can add up across a week of runs.

Paola is the county seat of Miami County, which is why this metro-based proxy is often the clearest day-to-day comparison available for residents tracking costs at home and at work.

Regular gas: down vs. yesterday, still well above last year

AAA Jacksonville metro regular (as of 7/20/26): $3.9180 per gallon.

That’s down from $3.9300 yesterday (7/19/26). It’s also up versus last week: $3.8150, last month: $3.6600, and a year ago: $3.0870.

Diesel: slightly lower than yesterday, but still costly

AAA Jacksonville metro diesel (as of 7/20/26): $5.2530 per gallon.

Diesel is down from $5.2570 yesterday (7/19/26). Even with that small drop, the diesel average remains up compared with last week: $4.9040, last month: $4.7830, and a year ago: $3.7020.

Why this matters locally in Macclenny and Baker County

Because diesel runs many routes and job sites, even small daily moves can matter for local budgets. For Macclenny-area commuters, the regular-gas trend is a direct driver of fill-up costs. For contractors, farmers, and delivery or freight drivers, diesel’s much higher level versus last year can still pressure operating costs—especially for businesses that refuel frequently or run equipment on tight schedules.

One important note for planning: AAA metro averages aren’t the same as any single station’s price in Macclenny. They’re a regional yardstick—use them to see whether prices are easing or tightening.

National context (EIA weekly benchmarks)

EIA’s latest weekly benchmark shows U.S. regular gasoline at $3.855 for the week ending 07/13/26, up $0.078 from the prior week. For diesel, EIA shows $4.796 for the same period, up $0.218 from the week before. These are weekly U.S. benchmarks—not a daily Macclenny estimate.

What to watch next

Next AAA check will show whether today’s down vs. yesterday moves for both regular and diesel hold—or whether prices rebound.

Today (7/19/26) vs. yesterday (7/18/26): regular gas

Regular gas (Los Angeles-Long Beach AAA metro average): $5.5320 per gallon today, up from $5.5070 yesterday (a +$0.0250 move).

Today (7/19/26) vs. yesterday (7/18/26): diesel

Diesel (Los Angeles-Long Beach AAA metro average): $6.8950 per gallon today, up from $6.8840 yesterday (a +$0.0110 move).

Since last week, last month, and last year

Regular gas: Up +$0.1190 since last week ($5.4130 vs. $5.5320), but down -$0.0820 since last month ($5.6140 vs. $5.5320). Still far above last year: +$1.0450 ($4.4870 vs. $5.5320).

Diesel: Up +$0.2240 since last week ($6.6710 vs. $6.8950)—the week-over-week jump is bigger than regular’s. Diesel is slightly lower than last month (-$0.0230; $6.9180 vs. $6.8950), but much higher than last year: +$1.7270 ($5.1680 vs. $6.8950).

How LA-area levels compare with the U.S.

On the same AAA date (7/19/26), the U.S. average is $3.9980 for regular and $5.1010 for diesel. Both are higher than yesterday (+$0.0060 regular; +$0.0130 diesel). They’re also up versus last week (+$0.1220 regular; +$0.2210 diesel), last month (+$0.0250 regular; +$0.0060 diesel), and last year (+$0.8520 regular; +$1.3710 diesel).

EIA quick context: California weekly trend

EIA’s latest available California weekly figures (week ending 07/13/26) show regular up to $5.200 from $5.175 in the prior week, and on-highway diesel up to $6.126 from $6.073.

Local practical takeaways

Commuters using regular: Even when the month-over-month comparison is softer, today’s and the week-over-week changes can still add up across work trips and errands.

Drivers and businesses relying on diesel: Diesel remains the more volatile budget signal right now—small per-gallon moves matter more when route miles stack up.

Weekend planning: If you’re planning a longer trip or want to top off for the week, treat diesel as the more “watch it” price.

Fuel-price question for readers: What are the highest and lowest pump prices you’re seeing locally in Hacienda Heights and nearby right now?

Sources

• AAA Fuel Prices — California (Los Angeles-Long Beach metro row)
• EIA — Weekly Retail Gasoline and Diesel Prices (California)

Because EIA’s measure is a national retail snapshot (not a local station price list, and not a full cost-of-living index), readers should treat it as a trend gauge—not a promise about what any single ZIP code is paying today. The next EIA Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update is scheduled for July 21, 2026.

What changed in the latest EIA national retail fuel prices

• Regular gasoline (U.S. average): $3.855/gal (up $0.078 vs. last week)
• On-highway diesel (U.S. average): $4.796/gal (up $0.218 vs. last week)

EIA also notes these retail prices include all taxes.

What that can mean for household budgets

Commuters: Even when weekly changes look small per gallon, they add up across the months for households that buy the same volume of fuel repeatedly. A practical way to use this EIA number is to compare the week-over-week direction: are prices trending up or down as your next fill-ups approach?

Delivery and the cost of goods: On-highway diesel is used heavily in freight and trucking, which can affect transportation costs that businesses factor into pricing decisions. Diesel price movement is only one input—labor, production costs, and demand also matter—so it’s best read as a potential contributor to consumer-cost pressure over time, not a one-to-one cause for any specific food or retail item.

Why EIA says to focus on trends (and what the update isn’t)

This EIA release is designed to show a near-real-time national view of retail gasoline and diesel, including taxes. What it doesn’t do is tell you:

• What any particular station in your area is charging, or
• How fuel changes will play out across every category of household spending.

Local prices can diverge because of regional supply conditions, local taxes, and retailer pricing decisions.

Context from EIA’s weekly petroleum supply picture

Fuel prices can swing week to week based on supply and inventory expectations. In its Weekly Petroleum Status Report for the week ending July 10, 2026, EIA reported:

• Refinery operations at 96.2% of operable capacity
• Crude oil refinery inputs averaging 17.1 million barrels per day
• Motor gasoline production averaging 9.6 million barrels per day (down)
• Distillate fuel production averaging 5.3 million barrels per day (up)
• Motor gasoline inventories declining while distillate fuel inventories rose versus the prior week

Those supply-and-inventory signals don’t prove a single cause for a single week’s retail price move, but they help explain the kind of market conditions that can feed into prices at the pump.

What to watch next

For near-term household budgeting, the next step is simple: check whether the July 21, 2026 EIA update shows gasoline and diesel continuing higher—or reversing course. Over time, that week-over-week direction is often the clearest “signal” this release can provide.

Regular gas: $3.98 today, up since yesterday

AAA lists Reading-area metro regular at $3.9800/gal for its price as of 7/14/26 snapshot. That’s $0.054 higher than AAA’s yesterday average (about 5.4 cents more per gallon). The week trend also points up: $3.9800 is higher than the week-ago average of $3.8350. But the month comparison is lower, with $3.9800 still below the month-ago average of $4.0260.

Looking farther back, the year-ago reality check stays stark: AAA’s $3.9800 regular-gas metro average is far above the year-ago average of $3.1760.

Diesel: $5.19 today, also higher than yesterday

For diesel, AAA shows $5.1860/gal as of 7/14/26 in the Reading metro. That’s $0.020 higher than yesterday’s average (about 2.0 cents more per gallon). Diesel is also higher than last week—above the week-ago average of $5.0370—but lower than last month, with $5.1860 below the month-ago average of $5.3440.

As with gas, the year-ago gap remains large. AAA’s diesel metro average of $5.1860 is well above the year-ago figure of $3.9280.

Context: AAA national trends and EIA’s weekly check

On the broader national level, AAA’s U.S. regular gas average for 7/14/26 is $3.8590, which is down versus yesterday, but still up versus last week. AAA’s diesel national average is $4.8820, slightly higher than yesterday and also higher than last week.

EIA’s latest weekly gasoline and on-highway diesel tables (released July 14, 2026, with the latest week dated 07/13/26) also point upward versus the prior week: U.S. regular gasoline is $3.855 for 07/13/26, and U.S. on-highway diesel is $4.796—both higher than the prior-week readings in the same EIA table. (EIA notes these price tables include taxes.)

What to do with today’s numbers

For commuters, the key takeaway is simple: with both gas and diesel higher than yesterday in AAA’s Reading metro averages, it’s still worth checking nearby pumps if you’re topping off after work or planning a longer trip.

Diesel matters even if you don’t drive a diesel car—because delivery drivers, contractors, and service businesses often use diesel as a cost benchmark, and those changes can show up in fuel surcharges and job costs. For households managing weekly mileage (including second-vehicle use), small per-gallon swings can add up over multiple fill-ups.

Regular gas (Lima metro): down today, still above last week

For regular gasoline, AAA lists $3.687/gal as of July 13. That’s lower than yesterday ($3.698/gal) and higher than last week ($3.428/gal). The month-ago comparison puts regular gas at $3.759/gal, meaning today’s average is also below where it was a month ago.

Diesel (Lima metro): up today and still up vs last week

On diesel, AAA shows $4.551/gal for July 13. That’s higher than yesterday ($4.524/gal) and higher than last week ($4.372/gal). Even with today’s increase, diesel is still below last month’s $5.089/gal average.

Bigger-picture context: U.S. prices softened vs the prior week

Nationwide, the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s latest weekly fuel report shows U.S. regular gasoline at $3.777/gal for the week of 07/06/26, down versus the prior week. EIA also reports on-highway diesel at $4.578/gal for that same week, also lower than the prior week. That’s useful context for why local trends can ease at times—but it’s not a guarantee of the same direction for any single metro or station.

Why this matters locally

These day-to-day moves can show up fast for Delphos-area budgets—especially for people who rely on diesel for commuting, deliveries, service work, contractors, and farming operations. The split here matters: gas is easing versus yesterday, while diesel is edging up. If you’re planning weekend travel or staffing logistics that require diesel, the “diesel-up” trend can keep costs elevated even when gas temporarily drops.

What to watch next: whether regular gas keeps easing, and whether diesel continues its upward drift (even if it’s still below last month).

Regular gas: down from yesterday, down from last week, well below last month

AAA shows regular at $5.403/gal today (7/12/26). That’s lower than yesterday ($5.407 on 7/11/26), and also lower than a week ago ($5.410 on 7/05/26). The bigger drop is compared with last month: AAA lists regular at $5.796 a month ago, making today’s level part of a broader easing trend. On the year-over-year comparison, regular is higher than last year ($4.550).

Diesel: slightly up vs yesterday, still down vs last week and last month

For diesel, AAA’s San Jose metro average is $6.527/gal as of 7/12/26. Diesel is higher than yesterday ($6.523 on 7/11/26), but it’s lower than a week ago ($6.554). Compared with last month, diesel is also down from $7.065. Like regular, diesel remains higher than a year ago ($5.252).

Local trend lines up with U.S. direction in the latest EIA weekly report

At the national level, EIA’s weekly gasoline and diesel update (released July 7, 2026, for prices through July 6) shows U.S. regular gasoline down on the week: $3.777 this update versus $3.831 a week earlier. On-highway diesel also eased week-over-week: $4.578 versus $4.668. This doesn’t mean Morgan Hill-area stations match the EIA national averages, but it supports the same general “easing pressure” direction for the broader fuel market.

So what it means for Morgan Hill-area commutes and job sites

For daily drivers, even small moves matter when gas purchases repeat on a routine route. With AAA’s San Jose metro regular average sitting below both yesterday and last week, that’s a more favorable setup for commuters than a “back up” bounce.

For contractors, deliveries, landscaping, and service fleets that rely on diesel, the picture is a little mixed day-to-day: diesel ticked up vs yesterday, but it’s still below last week and well below last month. That’s the kind of pattern that can show up in budget planning—especially when fuel costs are a steady line item for hauling, equipment runs, and scheduled deliveries.

What to watch next

Based on AAA’s metro comparisons, the broader trend still looks easier than last month for both regular and diesel. The next change to watch is whether diesel continues the pullback from last week or keeps bouncing around after the slight uptick from yesterday.

Here’s what changed in the Mount Joy area for drivers and fleets, using AAA’s Lancaster metro averages (price as of 7/12/26). Metro averages aren’t the same as any single station—but they’re a solid day-to-day barometer for what you can expect nearby.

Regular gas: down vs. yesterday

AAA Lancaster metro regular gas (unleaded): $3.867/gal

• vs. yesterday: $3.872 (-0.5 cents)
• vs. week ago: $3.755 (+11.2 cents)
• vs. month ago: $4.045 (-17.8 cents)
• vs. year ago: $3.151 (+71.6 cents)

Diesel: down vs. yesterday

AAA Lancaster metro diesel: $5.294/gal

• vs. yesterday: $5.312 (-1.8 cents)
• vs. week ago: $5.267 (+2.7 cents)
• vs. month ago: $5.587 (-29.3 cents)
• vs. year ago: $4.004 (+129.0 cents)

U.S. context (EIA weekly): both down vs. last week

The latest EIA weekly update (week ending 07/06/26) shows U.S. regular gasoline averaging $3.777/gal, down 5.4 cents from the prior week. U.S. on-highway diesel averaged $4.578/gal, down 9.0 cents from the prior week.

What this can mean locally for Mount Joy-area drivers

For commuters, the regular-gas average is slightly lower than yesterday—but still well above last year. Over a week of routine stops, even “small” cents-per-gallon changes can add up across multiple fill-ups.

For contractors, service businesses, and delivery/fleet operators, diesel pricing is the bigger watch point. Diesel is down compared with yesterday in this metro snapshot, but it’s still higher than a week ago—so it can move quickly from one refuel cycle to the next.

Looking at longer swings, both fuels in the Lancaster metro average are down versus last month, but up versus last week and last year—matching the broader squeeze many households and local businesses are still feeling at the pump.

Reader tip: If you run equipment or do work mileage daily, compare diesel prices at a few nearby pumps—not just one station. Fleet buyers often see bigger differences between locations than a metro average suggests.

Here’s what changed, what it could mean for commutes and freight-dependent goods, and when the next federal updates arrive in mid-July.

What the latest federal fuel-price data says

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) weekly retail averages (newest week through 07/06/26) show:

• Regular gasoline (U.S. average): $3.777 per gallon, down $0.054 week over week.
• On-highway diesel (U.S. average): $4.578 per gallon, down $0.090 week over week.

What drivers and shoppers are seeing at the pump

AAA’s national average is a consumer-friendly translation of where prices stand. AAA reports the following price as of 7/11/26:

• Gasoline: $3.8820 per gallon
• Diesel: $4.8770 per gallon

Because AAA’s “price as of” date and EIA’s weekly series window don’t line up day-for-day, the two numbers won’t match exactly—but both are pointing the same way for the latest stretch: relief compared with the prior week.

What likely moved the market in the last week

In its Weekly Petroleum Status Report, EIA summarizes the supply-and-inventory picture for the week ending July 3, 2026 (released July 8, 2026). Among the items reported:

• Refineries ran at 95.8% of operable capacity.
• Gasoline production decreased, averaging 9.7 million barrels per day.
• Distillate fuel production decreased, averaging 5.2 million barrels per day.
• Motor gasoline inventories decreased by 1.9 million barrels.
• Distillate fuel inventories decreased by 5.0 million barrels.

These kinds of refinery, production, and inventory shifts can affect wholesale product availability and pricing. They’re useful context for why retail averages may move—but they don’t prove a single, direct cause for every cent change at the pump.

How this can hit your budget

Commutes: When gasoline prices drop week to week, drivers typically feel it quickly—especially for commuters who treat fuel as a predictable monthly expense.

Delivery and trucking: Diesel matters beyond driving because it’s a key input for freight and a wide range of delivery services. If diesel costs fall or stabilize, it can eventually reduce pressure on transportation-related costs that work their way into prices families pay for goods and services.

What to watch next

To see whether the recent direction continues, watch the next scheduled EIA updates:

• Next Gasoline & Diesel Fuel Update: July 14, 2026
• Next Weekly Petroleum Status Report: July 15, 2026

Regular unleaded: down slightly since yesterday

AAA’s Knoxville-metro regular unleaded average is $3.476/gal as of 7/11/26, which is $0.020 less than yesterday’s $3.496. Compared with broader windows, regular is $0.195 higher than a week ago ($3.281) but still $0.207 lower than last month ($3.683) and $0.715 higher than a year ago ($2.761).

Diesel: slightly higher than yesterday, still far above last year

AAA’s Knoxville-metro diesel average is $4.556/gal as of 7/11/26—$0.048 higher than yesterday’s $4.508. Diesel is $0.054 higher than a week ago ($4.502), $0.340 lower than last month ($4.896), and $1.167 higher than a year ago ($3.389).

U.S. context: EIA’s weekly retail series points to a soft week

Looking beyond the Knoxville metro, EIA’s weekly retail gasoline and diesel data for the week ending 7/06/26 show U.S. regular gasoline at $3.777/gal, down from $3.831 for the prior week. EIA also reports U.S. on-highway diesel at $4.578/gal, down from $4.668 the week before—an indication that, nationally, the weekly trend had eased at the latest reporting point.

What this means locally around Maryville

For everyday driving, the Knoxville-metro benchmark suggests regular costs have ticked down slightly versus yesterday—which can matter for commuter fill-ups and routine errands. Diesel remains the bigger pressure point for a fuel-sensitive local economy: it’s a key input for delivery routes, contractors, and service vehicles that support home and business operations. Even though diesel is lower than a month ago, the year-over-year gap is still large enough to keep operating costs elevated for fuel-intensive work.

What to watch next

AAA updates these Knoxville-metro averages daily. The latest check puts both fuels below month-ago levels, but above week-ago levels—so the near-term direction will depend on how tomorrow’s (and the next) daily readings compare with today’s.

Compared with Tuesday, July 7, East Valley regular fell from $3.841 to $3.825 per gallon, and diesel eased from $4.835 to $4.818. The movement is consistent with a broader dip in the same direction over multiple comparison windows—helpful for households planning the next fill-up and for businesses budgeting recurring delivery or service-fleet costs.

Regular gas: down day-to-day, also lower than week and month ago

AAA’s East Valley average regular price is also lower than recent benchmarks: it’s down versus last week (from $3.892 to $3.825) and down versus last month (from $4.518 to $3.825). Still, the year-ago comparison is less forgiving—AAA shows regular gas is higher than last year (from $3.397 to $3.825).

Diesel: easing more than a week and month ago, but still above last year

For drivers who burn diesel—contractors, delivery routes, service fleets, and other diesel-reliant operations—AAA’s East Valley average also moved in a favorable direction in this update. Diesel is down versus yesterday (from $4.835 to $4.818), down versus last week (from $4.912 to $4.818), and down versus last month (from $5.540 to $4.818).

At the same time, diesel remains higher than a year ago, with AAA listing it up versus last year (from $3.501 to $4.818). That’s the key takeaway for budgeting: even when the daily trend eases, the longer-term comparison still matters for household and business plans.

National context: EIA also shows regular gas and diesel easing in the latest week

AAA’s East Valley dip lines up with the most recent national weekly retail data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Over the week ending 06/29/2026, the U.S. average regular price was $3.831; by the week ending 07/06/2026, it eased to $3.777. EIA also shows on-highway diesel easing from $4.668 to $4.578 over the same week span.

What this could mean locally (and a simple per-fill example)

AAA’s numbers are metro averages for the East Valley, not a guarantee of what every Gilbert-area pump will charge today—but they can still help residents and business owners plan. The day-to-day regular gas move on AAA is $0.016/gal lower (from $3.841 to $3.825). On a 15-gallon fill-up, that’s roughly $0.24 less based on the AAA averages.

For diesel users, the day-to-day change on AAA is $0.017/gal lower (from $4.835 to $4.818). On a 20-gallon diesel fill, that’s about $0.34 less using the same average-based math. Those amounts aren’t dramatic in isolation—but for diesel-heavy operators, the savings can stack across repeated routes and weekly service cycles.

If you want a station-level sanity check, Sam’s Club’s Gilbert fuel center page lists member pricing of $3.499 for unleaded and $4.599 for diesel (prices can vary at the pump and are membership-dependent).
