New Braunfels Gas & Diesel Watch: AAA’s latest San Antonio metro price check (price as of 7/13/26) shows regular is down a bit versus yesterday, while on-highway diesel is basically holding steady.

Regular gas: down slightly vs. yesterday, still higher than last week

For the San Antonio metro (AAA’s closest metro comparison for New Braunfels), regular is averaging $3.408/gal as of 7/13/26. That’s down from $3.427 on 7/12 (about 1.9¢ lower).

Diesel: nearly flat day-to-day

AAA’s diesel average for the San Antonio metro is $4.434/gal as of 7/13/26. Compared with yesterday’s $4.436, that’s about 0.2¢ lower—a move small enough that many commuters may only notice if they’re watching the pump closely.
