The current average price for a gallon of unleaded fuel in Texas is $4.68, which is the highest recorded average price.
TEXAS — Travel bookings for Memorial Day weekend are up 120% from last year, according to AAA Texas, and the insurance company expects that number to remain high as the holiday inches closer.
Gas prices are also steadily increasing as we head into the summer season. According to AAA Texas, the national gas price average is up 20 cents at $4.32. This is only once cent less than the average record high that was set in March this year.“With the cost of oil accounting for more than half of the pump price, more expensive oil means more expensive gasoline,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “These prices are creeping closer to those record high levels of early March.
The average price a year ago was $2.66. The current average in the Austin area is $4.06, $4.14 in the Dallas area and $3.99 in San Antonio.
