Texas gas prices drop prior to holiday
Just in time for the July 4th holiday weekend, retail gasoline prices are falling, according to the weekly AAA Texas gasoline price survey.
The survey shows that the average price of regular unleaded self-serve fell by 4 cents this week to $2.49 per gallon. It also fell 4 cents nationally to an average of $2.63.
Auto club spokeswoman Sara Schimmer says July 4 is the time of year when gasoline prices often peak. If so, they’ve peaked at a level nearly $1.50 per gallon below last summer’s high.
Texarkana has the cheapest gasoline in this week’s survey at $2.43, 7 cents below last week. The highest was in El Paso, where the average price fell 3 cents to $2.58 per gallon.
We have our GasBuddy link here , which currently shows the lowest price in Waco reported at $2.34 at Flying J.
