Guymon Gas Prices Stable as Week Shows Minor Decline

Guymon motorists saw little change in retail gasoline costs in the first week of January. A rolling price snapshot dated January 5, 2026 recorded a week-ago average for regular gasoline of $3.25, down one cent from the month-ago average of $3.26. That one-cent decline represents a roughly 0.3 percent fall in the month-to-month average, signaling near-stability after the turn of the year.

Individual station listings from the same January 5 snapshot illustrated wider variation across the city. Valero at 702 NE 12th St. reported a posted price of $3.12 for regular, while Phillips 66 with Circle K at 515 SE 2nd St. listed $3.69. That 57-cent spread is sizable relative to the local average and can materially affect household fuel bills and routine commuting costs if drivers consistently choose higher-priced pumps.

Year-to-date highs recorded on the tracking page show how volatile diesel and regular markets were at the start of 2026. Diesel peaked at $4.14 on January 1, 2026, and regular reached $3.27 on the same date. Those highs remain above the early-January averages, meaning diesel-dependent local businesses such as freight haulers, delivery services, and agricultural operators may still face elevated fuel expenses relative to recent retail regular-grade prices.

For Texas County residents, the immediate effect is mixed. Commuters driving typical local distances will see essentially the same out-of-pocket fuel costs as they did a month earlier, easing short-term household budgeting. For small businesses that rely on diesel fuel or operate large vehicle fleets, the higher diesel peak is more consequential for operating expenses and may feed into local delivery costs and service prices if sustained.

The Way.com rolling snapshot provides a practical tool for tracking these short-term movements by listing station addresses and the date each pump price was recorded. With station-level differences of more than half a dollar, routine comparison remains the most effective way for consumers and small businesses in Guymon to limit fuel spending. Over the longer term, residents and local firms will want to watch whether diesel prices retreat from their January 1 peak or whether broader energy-market shifts push both regular and diesel prices higher through 2026.
