UTSA anchors this far Northwest Side ZIP, and the university's footprint shapes everything from traffic to the commercial mix along I-10 and Loop 1604. With a large student population layered over fast-growing residential development, demand here runs high and the stations near campus and the major intersections stay busy.

Retail clusters around the UTSA Boulevard area and the I-10 and 1604 corridors, near the La Cantera and Six Flags Fiesta Texas draws. Grocery and big-box fuel in those centers tends to anchor the low end, while the convenience stations closest to campus can run a bit higher off student traffic.

Plenty of drivers here jump on I-10 toward downtown or take 1604 around the loop, and the freeway-entrance pumps price for that flow. Filling up at a grocery-anchored center before reaching the on-ramp is usually the cheaper move. The student schedule shapes demand too, with traffic spiking around class hours, so the stations nearest campus lean on convenience while the larger retail pumps a bit farther out tend to carry the lower prices.
