Diesel cost per gallon in Delaware
What readers paid for diesel in Delaware
Prices readers report from the pump: what they paid, where, and how they paid. Each one is a single fill on the date shown, not a survey average; the weekly EIA figures elsewhere on this page are the survey.
No reader has reported a price in Delaware yet. Yours would be the first.

Tell us the price at your last fill and see how it compares with the government survey for your state. Your report goes on this site as a dated reader report; we publish your state and the first three digits of your ZIP, nothing else.

Read this as a district figure, not a state figure. The EIA weekly on-highway diesel survey prices the United States, its districts and California, and nothing else. It does not price Delaware. The number above is Central Atlantic (PADD 1B), series EMD_EPD2D_PTE_R1Y_DPG, and it is the closest published federal figure for Delaware. We do not estimate a price for Delaware from it. 3 of Delaware's neighbouring states sit in the same district and therefore show the same price below.
EIA does not publish a weekly on-highway diesel price for Delaware. The federal survey prices the district Delaware sits in, Central Atlantic (PADD 1B), at $6.496 per gallon in the week of October 26, 2026 (series EMD_EPD2D_PTE_R1Y_DPG), $0.14 above the US average of $6.352. Pump prices inside the district vary around that figure.
Diesel tax breakdown
Interstate trucks (IFTA): 22.0c a gallon for October to December 2026.
Long-standing flat rate.
Checked 22 October 2026 against Delaware Code Title 30, Chapter 51, Special Fuel. Local and county taxes are not included. The percentage is against the EIA figure shown above, which is a district figure unless Delaware is surveyed directly.
Neighbouring states
Neighbours in the same EIA district carry the same published figure. A matching price here means the federal survey shows no measured gap across that border, not that pumps are identical.
Off-road (dyed) diesel in Delaware
Red-dyed diesel is the same fuel as clear diesel, sold without highway fuel taxes for uses off the public road. How Delaware treats it, checked 25 October 2026. Rules for every state are on the off-road diesel guide.
Sources: Delaware Code Title 30, Chapter 51, Special Fuel; Delaware Code Title 7, section 9114 (HSCA tax). Some Delaware details rest on statute text without a published state guide, so check with the state revenue department before relying on them. This is a summary, not legal or tax advice.
The trip calculator starts at $6.50/gal, the EIA figure above. Change it to the price you actually see at the pump for a real answer.
