San Marcos gasoline prices are among lowest in state
Retail gasoline prices in Texas remain the same this week while the average national price has dropped by a penny.
AAA Texas on Thursday reported prices at the pump statewide remain at $2.63 for a gallon of unleaded. Drivers across the country are paying an average of $2.85 per gallon, down a penny from the prior week.
In San Marcos, the lowest priced gasoline was $2.37 a gallon at Major Brand, 301 E. Hopkins, followed by 2.38 a gallon at Murphy Express on River Road.
AAA found that drivers in metro San Antonio and Wichita Falls are paying the least in Texas at $2.53 a gallon, while motorists in Midland are paying the most at $3.11.
AAA says “lingering geopolitical concerns” are driving up crude oil prices and bringing price volatility at the pump.
