AAA Texas: Lone Star State Average Remains Lowest in Country as Crude Oil Prices Fluctuate

AAA Texas: Lone Star State Average Remains Lowest in Country as Crude Oil Prices Fluctuate
The statewide gas price average in Texas is $2.94 for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch. That price is three cents less than on this day last week and is 37 cents less 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 $3.23 per gallon while drivers in Corpus Christi are paying the least at $2.83 per gallon. The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $3.37, which is two cents less when compared to this day last week and 29 cents less than the price per gallon at this same time last year.

The higher fuel demand outlook from China along with the supply concerns from the Ukraine-Russia war continue to keep crude oil prices volatile. As a result, prices at the pump are once again mixed with some areas seeing decreases while others are paying more from last week. Inflation and higher interest rates are playing into market uncertainty as an economic slowdown weighs on the minds of analysts while demand for travel remains optimistic.

“For the time being, drivers in Texas are seeing pump prices decrease in many areas,” said AAA Texas spokesperson Joshua Zuber. “As many people prepare for spring break and summer travel – it is important to keep your vehicle well-maintained to optimize its fuel economy as well as prevent breakdowns.”

Drivers in Texas are paying the lowest gas price average in the country, according to gasprices.aaa.com. Meanwhile drivers in Hawaii are paying the most at $4.88 on average for a gallon of regular unleaded.
