Finding cheap gas in Austin (78745)
South Austin's 78745 is the more affordable, eclectic counterpart to the city's pricier ZIPs, a grid of established neighborhoods like Garrison Park, Westgate, and South Manchaca laced together by William Cannon Drive, Stassney Lane, and Manchaca Road. It has long been where families found Austin character without downtown prices, and the dense everyday traffic keeps fuel competition healthy.
The best pricing tends to sit along those three arterials and out toward Ben White Boulevard, where grocery and discount fuel competes for a steady local crowd. Because this is a lived-in part of town rather than a tourist or commuter pass-through, prices here generally track the metro average instead of carrying a convenience premium.
I-35 forms the eastern boundary, and the stations near those ramps catch highway traffic, so the pumps deeper along Manchaca or William Cannon often post better numbers. For routine fill-ups, the big-box and grocery stations are the reliable value.

How to save more on gas in Austin
1. Use warehouse clubs
Costco and Sam’s Club typically price 15-25 cents per gallon below nearby stations. Membership pays for itself within a few fill-ups.
2. Fill up early in the week
Stations often raise prices Thursday for weekend demand. Fill up Monday through Wednesday to avoid the lift.
3. Keep tires properly inflated
Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy by up to 3 percent at current prices. Check pressure once a month.
4. Check back tomorrow
Prices can shift 10-20 cents overnight during volatile markets. A quick check before you leave home avoids paying yesterday’s spike.
5. Pay cash at split-pricing stations
Stations with cash and credit split pricing typically save an average of 10 cents per gallon when you pay cash.

About gas prices in Texas
Texas runs one of the lowest gas tax rates in the country at 20 cents per gallon, and its location next to the Gulf Coast refining belt (which produces roughly 40 percent of US refined fuel) keeps prices consistently below the national average. Buc-ee's, Costco, and Sam's Club draw the cheapest pump prices across Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio metros, while HEB Fuel and Kroger Fuel are competitive grocery options. Watch for noticeable Friday afternoon hikes in Houston, Dallas, and Austin during peak summer driving season, when local demand briefly outpaces supply.
