“Texas gas prices are 18.9 percent lower when compared to one year ago,” said Daniel Armbruster, AAA Texas spokesperson. “Fuel price averages are expected to continue to move lower as Autumn begins.”

In San Antonio, you can expect to pay an average gas price of $2.76 per gallon, up from $2.62 a week ago but down from $3.49 a year ago. The highest gas price recorded in San Antonio was $4.68 on June 13, 2022.

Drivers in the El Paso metro area are paying the highest prices for gas at $3.08 a gallon on average. In Lubbock, drivers are paying the least at $2.58 per gallon, AAA said.

The national average for an unleaded gallon of gas is $3.22, two cents less than last week and 66 cents less than last year.
