Rapid rise of gas prices slows somewhat in Texas
IRVING, TX
The weekly AAA Texas gasoline price survey released Thursday
says the average price of regular unleaded gas increased by a penny
to $3.76 in the past week.
The agency says the slight jump ended a monthlong streak of
increases of at least 10 cents per gallon. The average price of
gasoline in Texas is $1.01 higher than it was a year ago.
Houston had the biggest increase at 3 cents per gallon. The most
expensive gas among the 11 cities surveyed is $3.79 in Dallas and
Fort Worth. The least expensive is San Antonio at $3.68.
State prices are generally 20 cents shy of record levels from
the summer of 2008.
The national average is $3.84.
