AAA Texas: Statewide Gas Price Up Three Cents From Last Week

(Undated) — The Triple-A Texas Weekend Gas Watch says the statewide average gas price in Texas is $2.84 a gallon for regular unleaded.

That price is up three-cents from a week ago and is 93-cents higher than a year ago. The national average is $3.16. Gas demand is down sharply from the holiday weekend, but crude oil prices are above $70 a barrel. Pump prices will likely remain high throughout the summer driving season.

The average price at the pump in North Texas is $2.86.
