AAA: Texas Retail Gas Prices Remain At $2.61 For Second Week
COPPELL (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — The average retail gasoline price in Texas did not change this week, remaining at $2.61 for a gallon of unleaded.
AAA Texas on Thursday reported the average price was unchanged after falling from $2.63 a gallon two weeks ago. The average price drivers across the U.S. are paying fell by 2 cents to $2.83 a gallon.
The association survey says drivers in Amarillo and Wichita Falls are paying the least at the pump at $2.50 a gallon. Motorists in Midland, where the average price is $3.06, are paying the most.
