El Paso, Texas-Triple A says drivers in Laredo, Texas are paying under $4 a gallon.
The statewide gas price average in Texas is $4.33 for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch.
That price is 16 cents less than on this day last week and is $1.52 more per gallon compared to this day last year.
Of the major metropolitan areas surveyed in Texas, drivers in El Paso are paying the most on average at $4.44 per gallon while drivers in Laredo are paying the least at $3.98 per gallon. The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $4.75, which is 11 cents less when compared to this day last week and $1.61 more than the price per gallon at this same time last year.
“The largest weekly decline in 2022 for fuel prices is good news for drivers, but we’re not out of the woods just yet,” said AAA Texas spokesperson Daniel Armbruster. “Gas prices will remain elevated compared to one year ago and could fluctuate in July, which is typically one of the busiest months in Texas for road trips and fuel demand.”
