Gasoline prices go up 1 cent across Texas
AAA survey: Retail gasoline prices statewide a penny higher, national average also up
Retail gasoline prices are a penny higher across Texas this week, a slight slowing of the upward trend statewide.
AAA Texas on Thursday reported the average price at the pump statewide was $3.39 per gallon.
The association says nationwide gasoline prices increased 4 cents, to settle at an average $3.49.
The statewide average price is a dime less than the national average.
Texarkana has the most expensive gasoline statewide, at $3.42 a gallon. Amarillo again has the least expensive in the latest survey, at $3.18 per gallon.
AAA says a drop in the demand for gasoline nationwide has prompted refiners to cut back on production, resulting in rising fuel prices for motorists.
