Texas is a state in the South Central region of the United States. At 268,596 square miles (695,662 km2), and with more than 29.1 million residents in 2020, it is the second-largest U.S. state by both area (after Alaska) and population (after California). Texas shares borders with the states of Louisiana to the east, Arkansas to the northeast, Oklahoma to the north, New Mexico to the west, and the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the south and southwest; and has a coastline with the Gulf of Mexico to the southeast.

Drivers in Texas are paying the 9th lowest gas price average in the country, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA). This is now the new all-time record-high in the state. This is also eight cents more than last Thursday and $1.63 more per gallon compared to this day last year, according to AAA.

Take a look at the 10 cheapest gas stations in Texas that will help you save a few pennies.

Gas prices across Texas break new records

Texas gas prices have set an overnight record in the state’s gas price average.

According to AAA Texas, the current price average is $4.34 for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel that is eight cents more than on this day last week and is $1.63 more per gallon compared to this day last year.

Of the major metropolitan areas surveyed in Texas, drivers in El Paso are paying the most on average at $4.54 per gallon while drivers in Lubbock are paying the least at $4.16 per gallon.

The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $4.71, which is the highest price ever recorded by AAA, is 11 cents more when compared to this day last week and $1.67 more than the price per gallon at this same time last year.

After a very busy start to the summer driving season, the statewide gas price average hit yet another record high Thursday.

The spike is primarily driven by the oil market watching the possibility that supplies may become tighter as COVID lockdowns ease in China and the European Union will phase in a ban of most Russian oil products.

Keeping a cap on oil prices from skyrocketing further are reports that Saudi Arabia said it is prepared to increase oil production to make up for the loss of Russian oil in the market.

“New retail gas price records continue to be set across the state as crude oil prices remain elevated due to tight supplies around the globe,” said AAA Texas spokesperson Daniel Armbruster. “Prices will likely continue to fluctuate with relief likely not coming until after the busy summer travel season concludes.”

Drivers in Texas are paying the 9th lowest gas price average in the country.

Drivers in California are paying the most at $6.21 on average for a gallon over regular unleaded.

Tips to save money on fuel

Studies have shown personal driving habits are the single biggest factor that affects vehicle fuel consumption, according to AAA.

Adopting new and improved behaviors on the road can contribute to significant savings at the gas pump. Here are some ways AAA says drivers can improve their fuel efficiency:

→ Slow down and drive the speed limit. Higher speeds result in more aerodynamic drag.

→ Avoid “jackrabbit” starts and hard accelerations. These actions greatly increase fuel consumption.

→ Use cruise control on the highway to help maintain a constant speed and save fuel. However, never use cruise control on slippery roads because a loss of vehicle control could result.

→ Minimize your use of air conditioning.

→ Avoid extended idling to warm up the engine, even in colder temperatures. It’s unnecessary and wastes fuel.

→ Maintain your car according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Regular service will ensure optimum fuel economy.

→ Make sure your tires are properly maintained and inflated to the correct level.

→ When driving in town, adjust your speed to “time” the traffic lights. This reduces repeated braking and acceleration that consume additional fuel.

→ When approaching a red light or stop sign, take your foot off the gas early and allow your car to coast down to a slower speed until it is time to brake.

♦ And the most important thing in Texas for drivers to keep in mind to save money on gas: Look for the cheapest gas stations. At these stations, gas prices are often cheaper than the entire Texas average.

76 (formerly Union 76) is a chain of gas stations located within the United States. The 76 brand is owned by Phillips 66. Unocal, the original owner and creator of the 76 brand, merged with Chevron Corporation in 2005.

The Union Oil Company of California (later known as Unocal) introduced the Union 76 brand to their existing Union Oil service stations in 1932. After expanding along the West Coast, the Union 76 brand expanded to the Midwest and Southeast through the acquisition of Pure Oil in 1965.

In 1989, Unocal began to gradually exit the Midwest and Eastern markets by forming a joint venture with PDVSA, called Uno-Ven, in which Unocal contributed its Midwest refining and marketing assets. Unocal sold its interest in Uno-Ven to PDVSA in 1997 and PDVSA rebranded the Midwestern and Eastern Union 76 stations to its Citgo brand.

In 1997, Unocal also sold its remaining refining and marketing operations in the western United States and the rights to the Union 76 brand for use in refining and marketing operations to Tosco. Four years later, Phillips Petroleum purchased Tosco along with the 76 brand in 2001. Phillips merged with Conoco the following year to form ConocoPhillips.

In 2012, ConocoPhillips divested its refining and marketing business, which included the 76 brand, through the formation of Phillips 66.

In 2016, Saudi Aramco-owned Motiva Enterprises signed a deal with Phillips 66 Company which would allow Motiva to use the 76 brand on some of its stations in its 26 eastern and Gulf Coast states operating territory. By 2017, the 76 brand was reintroduced into New York, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee and New Jersey.

Alon Brands Retail owns and operates what was formerly Southwest Convenience Stores (SCS), with locations branded 7-Eleven in central and west Texas and in New Mexico. The largest concentration of company stores is in El Paso and Abilene, plus others in Midland, Odessa, Wichita Falls, Big Spring, Lubbock and Albuquerque, N.M.

Alon Brands Retail is the largest domestic licensee of 7-Eleven in the United States, which means it maintains exclusive 7-Eleven branding and proprietary products and services in its authorized markets. Using 7-Eleven-branded products is not mandatory but a right under the licensing agreement.

The stores offer Big Gulp, Slurpee, Big Brew, Big Bite, taquitos, 7-Eleven banking services, and generally use equipment and supply sources recommended by 7-Eleven Inc., Dallas.

The original company, Southwest Convenience Stores, was formed in 1993 when Permian Basin Investments acquired 152 stores from Southland Corp., now known as 7-Eleven Inc. When Alon Israel Oil Co. Ltd. purchased the Big Spring, Texas, refinery assets in August 2000, it acquired a 34.4% interest in SCS and added the brand of Alon USA. In May 2001, Alon USA completed the acquisition of the remaining interest in the convenience stores.

In 2011-2012, the company rebranded to Alon Brands Retail. The FINA gasoline brand was retired in spring 2012, and the ALON fuel brand is sold at all branded locations in eight states, as well as its more than 300 company-operated 7-Eleven stores.

The company moved its headquarters to Dallas in late 2012, but the marketing department maintains offices in Odessa. In addition to its store operations, Alon distributes fuel to about 3,000 sites.

The Phillips 66 Company is an American multinational energy company headquartered in Westchase, Houston, Texas. It debuted as an independent energy company when ConocoPhillips executed a spin-off of its downstream and midstream assets. Its name dating back to 1927 as a trademark of the Phillips Petroleum Company, the newly reconfigured Phillips 66 began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on May 1, 2012, under the ticker PSX. The company is engaged in producing natural gas liquids (NGL) and petrochemicals. The company has approximately 14,000 employees worldwide and is active in the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Phillips 66 is ranked No. 23 on the Fortune 500 list and No. 67 on the Fortune Global 500 list as of 2018.

Phillips also had gasoline stations in Canada's western provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan under the name Pacific 66 until the late 1970s. In 1932, the 76 brand, long familiar in the western U.S., was created by Union Oil Company of California (later Unocal). In 1946, Phillips purchased the Utah-based Wasatch Oil Co., bringing the Phillips 66 brand to the northern Rocky Mountain states and the far eastern portions of Oregon and Washington.

In 1966, Phillips entered the West Coast market by purchasing Tidewater Oil Co.'s refining and marketing properties in that region and rebranding all Flying A distributorships and service stations to Phillips 66.

In 1967, Phillips became the nation's second oil company, after Texaco, to sell and market gasoline in all 50 states, by opening a Phillips 66 station in Anchorage, Alaska. However, Phillips' experiment in 50-state marketing was short-lived.

Texaco, Inc. ("The Texas Company") is an American oil brand owned and operated by Chevron Corporation. Its flagship product is its fuel "Texaco with Techron". It also owned the Havoline motor oil brand. Texaco was an independent company until its refining operations merged into Chevron Corporation in 2001, at which time most of its station franchises were divested to the Shell Oil Company.

Texaco began as the "Texas Fuel Company", founded in 1902[6] in Beaumont, Texas, by Joseph S. Cullinan, Thomas J. Donoghue, Walter Benona Sharp, and Arnold Schlaet upon the discovery of oil at Spindletop. The Texas Fuel Company was not set up to drill wells or to produce crude oil. To accomplish this, Cullinan organized the Producers Oil Company in 1902, as a group of investors affiliated with The Texas Fuel Company. Men such as John W. ("Bet A Million") Gates invested in "certificates of interest" to an amount of almost ninety thousand dollars. Future restructuring would merge Producers Oil Company and The Texas Fuel Company as Texaco when the company needed additional funding, which J.W. Gates provided in the amount of approximately $590,000 in return for company stock.
