AAA Texas: Statewide Gas Prices Could Jump Over Ukraine Conflict

(Undated) — The Triple-A Texas Weekend Gas Watch says the statewide average gas price in Texas is $3.21 a gallon for regular unleaded.

That price is down one-cents from a week ago, and is 83-cents more than a year ago. The national average is $3.54. Gas supplies are slightly lower and demand is a tad higher, but crude prices topped $100 a barrel after Russia invaded Ukraine on Thursday, so drivers should brace for higher gas prices.

The average price at the pump in North Texas is $3.25 a gal.
