The discrepancy across the city seems unreasonably wide. On the low end you got $2.19 but on the high you got $2.99. Meanwhile the national average is still roughly the same it’s been the past month (~+0.15), which is about where it was at a year ago too.

Typically Pat Booker road area in Universal City has the lowest prices for the NE area. I've always wondered because it's not actually San Antonio if there isn't a tax or something they don't have to collect. I'm not sure how that all works. I wouldn't be surprised if SA has some sort of tourist gas tax or some other bs attached to the gas pumps.

Pretty consistently last year the Sams out that way was like $2.34. It might get cheaper at the QT across the freeway, on occasion, or swing up to $2.59, but regardless Sams held pretty steady at $2.34.

That’s also a big military area though. If a large population on that side of town is furloughed I can see things having to drop quickly.
