Two Houston gas stations offer regular gas at $2.99 through Saturday
Two Now & Forever stations on Westheimer and W. Bellfort sold regular gas for $2.99 through noon Saturday, a roughly $15 break on a 15-gallon fill-up.
Two Houston gas stations offered regular unleaded for $2.99 a gallon through noon Saturday, July 18, giving drivers a brief break as fuel costs climbed across Texas. The Now & Forever promotion applied at 13905 Westheimer Rd. in west Houston and 13380 W. Bellfort Ave. in southwest Houston, and cash customers had to enroll in the station’s free loyalty program onsite to get the price.
For a Harris County driver filling a 15-gallon tank, the difference was about $14.87 compared with AAA’s national average of $3.9810 a gallon. That kind of savings is enough to matter on a week when commuters are watching the pump closely, especially for people who drive every day for work, school pickups, deliveries or weekend errands.
The discount landed as gasoline prices moved higher across the region. AAA’s Fuel Prices tracker showed the national average at $3.9810 on July 17, the highest since January, while Texas gas prices jumped 13 cents in a week as crude oil moved toward $80 a barrel. Click2Houston also reported earlier this year that Houston gas prices had increased nearly 50 cents in a week on March 9 and had surged to nearly a four-year high on April 30 as oil costs spiked.
That made the Now & Forever offer look more like a short-lived local promotion than a broad price reset. It was limited to two Houston locations, limited to cash customers, and limited by a hard deadline at noon Saturday. For drivers trying to stretch a tank across the weekend, that narrow window was the main appeal.
