AAA Texas: State Gas Price Average Rising Amid Fluctuating Crude Oil Prices

TX Gas Price Watch

The statewide gas price average in Texas is $2.74 per gallon for regular unleaded fuel, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch. That price is five cents more compared to this day last week and is two cents more per gallon compared to this day last year. Of the major metropolitan areas surveyed in Texas, drivers in the El Paso area are paying the most on average at $2.96 per gallon while drivers in Wichita Falls are paying the least at $2.61 per gallon. The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $3.13, which is three cents more when compared to this day last week and five cents more per gallon when compared to this day last year.

The state gas price average experienced a slight uptick compared to last week and the same period last year. While the statewide average is up five cents, some Texas metropolitan areas have experienced weekly increases as low as two cents to as high as 22 cents per gallon. However, the longevity of this upward momentum remains uncertain. Recent data indicates fluctuating crude oil prices over the past week, which could influence future gas prices.

At the time this release was published, the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is $75.51, which is up more than $2 per barrel since the start of the year but has declined from the 2025 high, seen last week, by $3 per barrel. Historically, colder temperatures during this time of year typically lead to a decrease in demand for gasoline.
