Drivers filling up in and around Bonifay are seeing regular unleaded prices clustered between $3.95 and $4.00 per gallon at the area’s main stations, offering a modest but welcome consistency in a rural Panhandle market that lacks big-box warehouse clubs.
These local figures sit slightly above Florida’s recent statewide average for regular gasoline, which has fluctuated in the $3.67–$3.74 range in mid-July according to U.S. Energy Information Administration weekly data.
The lowest reported regular price in the immediate Bonifay vicinity comes from Milco Mart at 224 W Highway 90, where unleaded is listed at $3.95 per gallon. Midgrade and premium both sit at $4.70, with diesel at $5.20. The station, which closes around 10 p.m., has been noted among the more competitive options for price-conscious locals and travelers along U.S. 90.
Just a short drive away, two other prominent stations are matching or very close:
- Express Lane #769 (also associated with Exxon branding) at 1102 N Waukesha Street lists regular unleaded at $4.00, midgrade at $4.30, premium at $4.56, and diesel at $5.20. It’s a convenient stop with extended evening hours.
- Circle K at 416 S Waukesha Street offers regular at $4.00, midgrade at $4.50, premium at $4.95, and diesel at $5.20. This 24-hour location serves both highway traffic and daily commuters.
These prices reflect real-time or same-day updates from local reporting aggregators and align with broader observations that Bonifay-area stations typically run a few cents to a dime above the Florida average in smaller markets without intense competition from membership clubs.
Florida’s overall regular gasoline average has shown relative stability in July after earlier volatility tied to global oil market swings. The state has generally tracked below the national average in recent weeks, providing some relief for Panhandle residents who often travel longer distances for work, shopping, or recreation.
In a town like Bonifay—home to agriculture, small businesses, and proximity to Interstate 10 corridors—gas prices directly influence household budgets and local commerce.
Commuters heading toward Chipley, Dothan, Alabama, or larger hubs feel the pinch on daily drives, while visitors exploring nearby state parks or heading to the coast appreciate any savings at the pump.
Experts and apps like GasBuddy emphasize that prices can vary by a few cents based on payment method (cash vs. credit), loyalty programs, or daily market shifts.
Motorists are encouraged to check real-time apps before filling up, especially for longer trips along U.S. 90 or I-10 where options increase slightly outside the immediate 10-mile radius.
Diesel remains notably higher at around $5.20 across the listed Bonifay stations, a common pattern reflecting commercial trucking demand and refining costs.
Premium fuel commands the usual premium, running $4.56–$4.95 depending on the location.
While Bonifay doesn’t host the ultra-low prices sometimes seen at high-volume urban or membership-club stations, the current range represents competitive local options in a market where supply, distance from major terminals, and seasonal travel patterns play key roles.
Residents and visitors alike can expect these figures to hold or adjust modestly with broader crude oil trends and any shifts in regional demand.
For the most accurate and up-to-the-minute prices, locals recommend cross-referencing multiple sources, as individual station signs and apps can update throughout the day. In the meantime, the $3.95–$4.00 window at Milco Mart, Express Lane, and Circle K gives Bonifay-area drivers a clear picture of where to stretch their fuel dollars this week.
