Texas sports teams and Texas food brands dominate Valero Energy's nearest audiences — not other fuel retailers or automotive brands. The top 10 neighbors span restaurants, grocers, sports teams, athletes, and a humor account, with no other gas station appearing in the set.

The shape is broad: scores run from 0.96 down to 0.89 across ten distinct entity types, with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest. Whataburger (social) leads at 0.96, followed by H-E-B at 0.93 — both Texas-rooted consumer brands. The Dallas Cowboys (0.93) and Houston Astros (0.90) represent the sports teams subcategory, which accounts for three of the top 10 alongside the San Antonio Spurs (0.91). Athletes fill two more slots: Cole Beasley at 0.91 and Jason Witten at 0.90, both with NFL ties. Texas Humor (0.91) is the lone humor/meme account in the set. Pluckers Wing Bar (0.90) and Blogging The Boys (0.89) round out the ten — a restaurant and a Cowboys-focused blog, respectively.

The subcategory mix — restaurants, grocery, sports teams, athletes, humor, and a blog — points to an audience defined less by fuel or automotive interest and more by a dense cluster of Texas regional identity markers. The absence of any competing gas station or fuel brand in the top 10 reinforces that the audience overlap here is shaped by geography and cultural affinity rather than category proximity.
