The current average in Texas is $3.03 for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel.

In comparison to last year, during which travel was limited due to COVID-19, current prices are $1.15-$1.25 more per gallon this Thanksgiving, AAA reports.

The higher prices are not expected to deter holiday travelers as AAA predicts an estimated 3.6 million Texans will drive 50 miles or more to their Thanksgiving destination this year.
