For household drivers, the main change is the lack of movement in regular gasoline. AAA’s latest Mobile metro average was unchanged from the previous check, so commuters, families and weekend travelers are seeing little immediate difference in the regular-gas figure.

Diesel rises from the previous week

Diesel tells a different story. The Mobile metro average was up 6.7 cents per gallon from a week earlier, reaching $5.146. It also increased from $5.135 in AAA’s July 30 check.

The difference between the two fuel trends matters most for businesses and workers that rely on diesel vehicles or equipment. Truckers, contractors, delivery companies, farmers, landscapers, restaurants with regular supply runs and local service businesses may face greater operating-cost pressure when diesel remains elevated.

That does not mean every local company will immediately raise prices or change operations. The effect depends on factors such as fleet size, fuel contracts, route lengths, equipment use and whether a business can pass higher costs along to customers. A sustained diesel increase can add expense to deliveries, construction work, farm operations, repairs and other services that depend on diesel-powered vehicles or machinery.

What the flat gas figure means for drivers

For most personal vehicles, the regular-gas figure is the more direct measure. With the Mobile metro average unchanged at $3.753, drivers may see less short-term pressure than businesses using diesel. Actual prices can vary by station and neighborhood, so the metro average should not be treated as the price at every pump.

The latest check shows gasoline and diesel moving differently in Mobile: regular gas is flat from the previous check, while diesel is higher and up from the prior week. Residents planning weekend travel can watch regular-gas prices, while commercial drivers and business owners may want to monitor diesel more closely as they budget for routes, equipment and deliveries.

AAA reported an average of $3.685 per gallon for regular gasoline and $4.948 for diesel in its latest College Station-Bryan price check. The figures are metro averages, not a guarantee of what drivers will see at every pump in College Station.

Regular gas stayed flat from the prior day

Regular gasoline was unchanged from the previous daily check. Even with no day-to-day movement, the average was up 3.8 cents from a week earlier, 21.5 cents from a month earlier and 95.5 cents from a year earlier.

Diesel rose 0.5 cents

Diesel followed a different path. AAA listed the metro average at $4.948 per gallon, up 0.5 cents from the prior day. Diesel was also up 14.1 cents from a week earlier, 37.1 cents from a month earlier and $1.708 from a year earlier.

That larger annual increase matters beyond commercial trucking. Diesel is commonly used by contractors, delivery operators, agricultural businesses, service companies and some local fleets. Higher fuel costs are one expense to watch when businesses set delivery charges, service prices or operating budgets, although the available price data does not document how any particular College Station business is responding.

One local station shows why averages vary

A 7-Eleven/Stripes listing for 2111 Holleman Drive West showed regular gasoline at $3.799 per gallon and diesel at $4.869. The station page says its gas prices are updated within 24 hours.

That example illustrates the difference between a station-level price and the broader AAA metro average: the station’s regular price was above the metro average, while its listed diesel price was below it. Station prices can vary by location, competition and timing, so drivers should compare nearby pumps before filling up.

What the numbers mean locally

For commuters and households, regular gasoline near $3.69 can add pressure to weekly transportation budgets, especially for people with long commutes or larger vehicles. Diesel’s sharper annual increase is more relevant to contractors, farmers, delivery drivers, restaurants that receive frequent shipments and service businesses operating work trucks.

Weekend travelers and visitors coming to the area may also want to check prices along their route. The latest figures show separate trends for the two fuels: regular gas was steady on the day, while diesel continued to edge higher.

Regular gas: $3.374/gal (AAA metro average, price as of 6/29/26). That’s $0.022 lower than yesterday ($3.396), $0.062 lower than a week ago ($3.436), and $0.479 lower than a month ago ($3.853). Compared with last year, regular is still $0.618 higher than $2.756.

Diesel: $4.229/gal (AAA metro average, price as of 6/29/26). Diesel is $0.020 lower than yesterday ($4.249) and $0.159 lower than a week ago ($4.388). It’s also $0.701 lower than last month ($4.930), but still $0.954 higher than a year ago ($3.275).

Why the daily changes matter in Shreveport-Bossier City

When prices drop by just a few cents per gallon, the impact isn’t dramatic for a single fill-up—but it can be noticeable across multiple stops. For commuters and families, easing regular prices can reduce the cost of routine errands and weekday travel. For contractors, delivery drivers, and service fleets, diesel is the line item that tends to move fastest into operating costs—and even with today’s dip, diesel is still far higher than it was a year ago.

National snapshot (context, not local pricing)

For broader direction, AAA’s national averages were $3.860/gal for regular and $4.859/gal for diesel as of 6/30/26. EIA’s latest gasoline and on-highway diesel update also points to week-over-week easing at the U.S. level (its table shows a downward move from 06/15/26 to 06/22/26). That’s consistent with the “down vs yesterday / down vs last week” pattern showing up in the Shreveport-Bossier City metro average.

Next fill-up tip: metro averages don’t match every station—prices can vary within Shreveport and Bossier. If you’re planning to fuel today, check a couple nearby pumps (or use a price app) before committing to the first price you see.

Casey’s at 3102 N. Broadway St. in Poteau listed Super 87 at $3.419 per gallon and diesel at $4.459 per gallon, with the station listing updated about one hour before the price check. That is one station snapshot, not a Poteau citywide average, but it gives local drivers a concrete number to compare before filling up.

AAA’s Oklahoma fuel-price table, dated June 22, listed the Le Flore-Sequoyah regular average at $3.480 per gallon and diesel at $4.422. That row is the nearest metro-style movement indicator for the area, not a specific Poteau-only average.

Regular gas is roughly steady at the checked Poteau station

For regular unleaded, the Casey’s Poteau listing remains close to the last same-site check, when Super 87 was also around $3.42 per gallon. That makes the station-level picture fairly steady for commuters, school and work trips, and households trying to time a fill-up around payday or weekend travel.

The broader AAA Le Flore-Sequoyah regular average moved lower. AAA listed regular at $3.480 on June 22, down from $3.494 the day before and $3.657 a week earlier. That does not guarantee every Poteau station has moved the same way, but it does show the regional average has been easing over the past week.

Diesel is still the bigger cost line for work vehicles

Diesel remains much higher than regular at the checked Poteau Casey’s, where the listing showed $4.459 per gallon. Compared with the previous same-site check, that keeps local diesel near the $4.46 mark rather than showing a major station-level drop.

AAA’s Le Flore-Sequoyah diesel average, however, was lower on June 22 at $4.422 per gallon. That was down from $4.441 the day before and $4.621 a week earlier. For drivers who can compare stops before filling up, the gap between an individual station listing and the broader area average is worth watching.

Diesel matters beyond personal travel. Contractors, delivery routes, farm users, tow and repair operators, restaurants with supply deliveries, lawn crews, and other service businesses can feel diesel changes faster than households that mostly buy regular gas. Even a modest move can affect route planning, job bids, delivery fees, and the cost of running equipment.

How Poteau drivers can use the June 22 numbers

The main takeaway for regular-gas buyers is that the checked Poteau pump is steady near $3.42, while the Le Flore-Sequoyah average is higher at $3.480 but moving down from both yesterday and last week. For diesel buyers, the checked station remains near $4.46, while AAA’s area average is lower and easing.

National fuel context is also moving lower in the latest federal weekly data. The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s June 16 release, using the June 15 price row, showed U.S. regular gasoline at $4.052 per gallon, down 9.4 cents from the prior week, and U.S. on-highway diesel at $5.059, down 15.1 cents from the prior week. Those are national figures, not Poteau prices, but they help explain why local drivers may be watching for further movement at area stations.

For now, Poteau-area drivers should compare regular and diesel separately, check the posted pump before starting a fill-up, and pay special attention if buying diesel for work vehicles or equipment. Share the highest and lowest Poteau-area pump prices you are seeing so other local drivers can compare before their next stop.
