El Paso Gas Price Average Highest In State At $1.95
HOUSTON (AP) – Drivers in Texas are getting some relief at the pump as retail gasoline prices tumbled 8 cents this week.
AAA Texas on Thursday reported the average price for regular unleaded fell to $1.74 a gallon. The association attributed the decline to continued lower demand from drivers.
The nationwide price for gasoline slipped almost 8 cents, to $1.88 a gallon.
One year ago the cost per gallon was $3.06 across Texas.
AAA Texas says Corpus Christi has the cheapest gasoline this week, at $1.65, while the highest average was El Paso, at $1.95 a gallon.
Association spokeswoman Sarah Schimmer says experts are finding the oil market “continues to reflect chaotic price movement.”
