According to AustinGasPrices.com, it’s at Costco (Research Blvd and Great Hills Trl) and Sam’s Club (9700 N Capital of Texas Hwy), where regular gas is $3.69 per gallon today. If you don’t have a membership at those places, which is required if you want to fill up at their stations, your next best bet is the Exxon at Mopac and Duval where it’s $3.72 per gallon. And who has the most expensive gas? The Valero station at Barton Springs and Kinney Ave, where it’s $3.95 per gallon.

Finding cheap gas can of course wind up costing you more if you drive far to get it, but this site is worth bookmarking if you’d like to keep an eye on prices around town or have more ammo in your small-talk arsenal. You can look up prices for regular, mid-grade, premium, and even diesel — check it out.

And on a related note… Capital Metro’s website has a Trip Planner page where you can [hopefully] find a way to get to where you need to go without using a car.
