Gas prices on the rise in San Antonio

Price for one barrel of oil is $79, as of July 28

SAN ANTONIO – The price of gas is steadily on the rise in San Antonio.

According to AAA, the average price for regular unleaded gas in Alamo City is $3.45 a gallon as of Friday, July 28. That’s up $0.20 from a week ago and $0.27 from a month ago.

Although the price has risen over the past several weeks, gas prices are still lower than last year. During the same time period in 2022, gas prices were $0.34 higher than they are currently.

“50% of that gallon of gas is the cost of crude oil,” Daniel Armbruster, AAA senior public analyst, told KSAT.

Right now, the price per barrel of crude oil is $79. This time last year, it was $98 per barrel.

Experts say there are some things you can do to help save money on gas, including:

  • Avoiding hard and quick accelerations
  • Driving the speed limit
  • Using cruise control when you are able to
  • Making sure your tires are in good shape

“Driver behavior is the number one factor when it comes to fuel consumption and also conserving fuel,” Armbruster said.
