The average price of regular gasoline in San Antonio fell by 72 cents in just 30 days, according to the latest report from AAA.

The current cost stands at $3.16 per gallon. This figure is down from $3.48 a week ago and $3.88 one month prior. The drop places the city below the Texas state average, which hovers near $3.35 per gallon.

AAA attributes the decrease to several factors. The organization points to falling crude oil prices and the switch to winter blend gasoline, which costs less to produce. Lower demand during the fall season also contributed to the decline.

Data from the Energy Information Administration, cited by AAA, shows weekly gasoline demand dropped from 8.80 million to 8.76 million barrels per day.

Despite the recent drop, drivers still pay more than they did a year ago. In San Antonio, the average price was $2.62 per gallon in November 2025. The current price is approximately 55 cents higher. Nationwide, the average sits at $3.90, well above the $3.08 recorded a year earlier.

AAA notes that prices remain high for this time of year. As of November 12, 2026, the current month tracks as the most expensive November for gasoline on record.
