AAA Survey Shows Texas Gasoline Prices Dropped This Week
IRVING, TX. (AP) – Retail gasoline prices fell across Texas this week.
The weekly Triple-A Texas gas price survey released Friday shows the average price of regular self-serve fell by 4 cents to $2.65 per gallon across Texas.
The national average fell 2 cents to $2.76 per gallon. Auto club spokeswoman Rose Rougeau says the price downturn is aided by a mild hurricane season and slackening demand.
El Paso has the highest gas prices of the survey’s 11 Texas cities. The average price of regular self-serve there fell 4 cents to $2.79 per gallon. Corpus Christi has the cheapest gas at $2.54 per gallon. That’s down 6 cents from last 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 — $2.747, down 3.7 cents Austin-San Marcos — $2.713, down 2.7 cents Beaumont — $2.657, down 2.5 cents Corpus Christi — $2.541, down 5.9 cents Dallas — $2.628, down 2.1 cents El Paso — $2.788, down 4.1 cents Fort Worth — $2.613, down 3.2 cents Galveston-Texas City — $2.589, down 3.8 cents Houston — $2.574, down 3.3 cents San Antonio — $2.652, down 3.2 cents Texarkana (Texas only) — $2.660, down 6.1 cents
