AAA Texas: Weekend Gas Watch; Retail Gas Prices Fall
 |
The statewide average price for a gallon of regular self serve is $2.248 a gallon--a weekly drop of two cents. Dallas has the highest average on the list at $2.268 a gallon--down three cents. Motorists in Corpus Christi saw the biggest decrease of six cents for an average of $2.093 a gallon--the lowest average on the list.
"Crude oil prices that continued to stay below $65 a barrel this week, fueled by the warmer than normal winter weather across the U.S., have helped drive retail gasoline prices slightly lower," said Rose Rougeau, spokesperson for AAA Texas. "It remains to be seen however, if these relatively modest declines in retail gasoline prices will continue with the geo-political concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions."
The national average for regular self-serve gasoline is $2.327 a gallon--nearly three cents less than last week's average.
AAA Texas' Weekend Gas Watch monitors the average price of gasoline in Texas.
