H-E-B gas prices

Find current pump prices at H-E-B fuel stations across Texas. Plus the H-E-B Card discount math and how the chain compares to Buc-ee's, Costco, and Sam's Club in the same Texas markets.

How H-E-B fuel pricing works in Texas

H-E-B operates gas stations at most H-E-B Plus supercenter locations and at a subset of standard H-E-B grocery stores. The fuel program is supplied through H-E-B's own commercial fuel network, with pricing decisions made market-by-market based on local competition. H-E-B does not chase the lowest absolute pump price the way Costco or Buc-ee's does. The strategy is closer to grocery-store fuel programs nationally: competitive enough to encourage fill-ups during grocery trips, not aggressive enough to attract drivers who came just for fuel.

H-E-B Card and other discounts

The H-E-B Card (debit-linked) and the H-E-B branded credit card offer rewards on H-E-B grocery purchases. Cardholders can earn statement credits and per-gallon discounts on H-E-B fuel depending on the version of the card and current promotions. The discount structure is less aggressive than the cents-per-gallon programs from Kroger or Walmart+, with typical savings in the 3 to 5 cents per gallon range when applied.

H-E-B fuel vs Buc-ee's, Costco, and Sam's Club in Texas

Texas drivers comparing fuel options have several genuinely-cheap choices. Buc-ee's typically prices 5 to 15 cents below nearby retail at its travel-stop locations, with no membership required. Costco runs 12 to 25 cents below local retail for members at a $65-per-year Gold Star tier. Sam's Club falls between Costco and standard retail with Plus members getting an additional 5 cents per gallon discount on top. H-E-B usually prices closer to standard retail than to club-tier pricing, but trades that gap for the ability to fuel without a membership, in the same parking lot as the grocery run.

Why H-E-B is Texas-only

H-E-B has been privately held by the Butt family since its founding in Kerrville in 1905. The company has chosen depth in Texas (and Northern Mexico under the H-E-B Mexico subsidiary) over geographic expansion. The decision is part of the brand identity. Periodic rumors of H-E-B expanding to Oklahoma or other adjacent states have not materialized into meaningful store openings outside Texas as of early 2026.

Top Tier certification status

H-E-B fuel is not listed on the Top Tier Detergent Gasoline certified-brands list at toptiergas.com. Drivers who want both the convenience of H-E-B fuel and a Top Tier additive package have alternatives nearby in every Texas metro: Chevron, Shell, Exxon, Mobil, Texaco, Valero, Costco, and QuikTrip are all Top Tier and have strong Texas presence.

Common questions about H-E-B gas

Where are H-E-B gas stations located?
H-E-B operates fuel stations only in Texas, at a subset of H-E-B and H-E-B Plus supermarket locations across the state. The densest concentration is in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and the broader San Antonio-Austin-Houston triangle. The chain has expanded slightly into the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex but remains weaker there than in South and Central Texas.
Does H-E-B Card give you a gas discount?
The H-E-B Card and H-E-B credit card provide statement credit on H-E-B grocery purchases that can translate to per-gallon savings at H-E-B fuel stations depending on the version of the card and current promotions. The discount structure is less aggressive than the Kroger Fuel Points or Walmart+ programs, with savings typically in the 3 to 5 cents per gallon range when applied.
Is H-E-B gas cheaper than Buc-ee's, Costco, or Sam's Club in Texas?
In most Texas metros, Costco and Sam's Club price lowest among the big options, often 10 to 25 cents below nearby retail. Buc-ee's prices similarly low at its travel-stop locations. H-E-B fuel typically prices closer to standard retail than to club-tier pricing, but does not require a membership. For most Texas drivers, H-E-B fuel is a convenience-during-grocery-trip choice rather than the absolute-lowest-price option.
Is H-E-B fuel Top Tier certified?
H-E-B is not listed on the Top Tier Detergent Gasoline certified-brands list maintained by toptiergas.com. Drivers prioritizing the Top Tier additive package while shopping at H-E-B can fuel up elsewhere (Costco, Chevron, Shell, Valero, Exxon, and Texaco are all Top Tier and have strong Texas footprints).
Why does H-E-B only operate in Texas?
H-E-B is a privately-held company owned by the Butt family, founded in Kerrville, Texas, in 1905. The company has consistently chosen depth in Texas (and northern Mexico under the H-E-B Mexico subsidiary) over geographic expansion to other US states. The Texas-only focus is part of the brand identity and a recurring topic of Texan civic pride.
How many H-E-B stores in Texas have gas pumps?
H-E-B operates fuel stations at most H-E-B Plus and Mi Tienda supercenter-format locations, plus a subset of standard H-E-B stores. Coverage is densest in the Texas Triangle (Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth). Smaller H-E-B grocery-only stores in dense urban neighborhoods typically do not have fuel pumps.
