Survey: FW Has Highest Gas Prices In State
Texas Gasoline Prices Climb Further Into Record Territory
Cheapest Gas In San AntonioAt $3.12 Per Gallon
HOUSTON (AP) ―
Texas retail gasoline prices continued to climb higher into record territory this week.
Regular self-serve averaged $3.16 per gallon across the state in the weekly AAA Texas gasoline price survey Friday, 6 cents more than last week. Nationally, the average was $3.27 per gallon, 8 cents more than last week.
"Every Texas region surveyed set new record highs this week, with Amarillo being the only exception," said auto club spokeswoman Rose Rougeau. "Texarkana is the only area that posted a decrease. However, with record crude oil prices pushing retail gas prices upward, it is unlikely that area will continue to move downward."
San Antonio had the state's lowest average with regular self-serve at $3.12 per gallon, 5 cents more than last week. Fort Worth surpassed Dallas as the Texas locale with the most expensive gas averaging $3.17 per gallon, up 9 cents from last week.
These are average per-gallon prices of regular, self-serve gasoline in Texas and nationally, as well as the change from last week, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch released Friday:
