AAA: Texas Retail Gasoline Prices On The Rise
IRVING, TX. (AP) – Retail gasoline prices are on the rise across most of Texas.
The weekly Triple-A Texas gas price survey released today shows regular self-serve is averaging $2.71 per gallon in 11 Texas cities surveyed. That’s 3 cents higher than last week. Nationally, the average price rose 2 cents to $2.81 per gallon. And auto club spokesman Paul Flaningan says “rising crude oil prices may be felt at the pump in the very near future.”
Retail gasoline prices had held steady across Texas for the previous three weeks. Amarillo saw the only significant drop in gas price this week with a 2-cent drop. But the Panhandle city retains the distinction of having the state’s most expensive gas at $2.87 per gallon. Houston continues to have the cheapest gas at $2.62 per gallon, despite a 2-cent increase this week.
These are average per-gallon prices of regular, self-serve gasoline in Texas metro areas and the change from last week, according to today’s Triple-A Texas Weekend Gas Watch:
Amarillo — $2.866, down 1.7 cents Austin-San Marcos — $2.748, up 1.7 cents Beaumont — $2.713, up 1.9 cents Corpus Christi — $2.675, up 3.0 cents Dallas — $2.672, up 3.3 cents El Paso — $2.852, down 0.2 cent Fort Worth — $2.672, up 3.8 cents Galveston-Texas City — $2.635, up 0.8 cent Houston — $2.623, up 2.4 cents San Antonio — $2.695, up 3.0 cents Texarkana (Texas only) — $2.746, up 5.0 cents
