(Undated) — The Triple-A Texas Weekend Gas Watch says the statewide average gas price in Texas is $2.79 a gallon for regular unleaded.

That price is down five-cents from a week ago and is 88-cents higher than a year ago.  The national average is $3.14.  Demand is up a bit and supplies are slightly down, but lower crude prices are helping keep gas prices down.

The average price at the pump in Fort Worth is $2.80 but in Hood County it’s $2.85.
