Breckenridge Texan

While most local gas prices remained steady, Texas gas prices have risen slightly in the past week, averaging $1.87/g today, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 13,114 stations.

Gas prices in Texas are 1.3 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 42.3 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. According to GasBuddy price reports, the lowest price in the state today is $1.49/g while the highest is $2.69/g, a difference of $1.20/g.

“Average gasoline prices largely remain range-bound as the tug of war between market forces continues to keep prices confined near current levels,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. “On one side, the coronavirus situation would be pulling prices down as year-to-date gasoline demand stands some 13 percent lower than last year, but on the positive side is the possibility of economic stimulus that could boost households ahead of the election if the two parties can manage to agree. For now, with little action on either issue, oil markets are seeing a good amount of speculation and seesawing, and that will continue until we have a clear answer on whether Washington will deliver more economic aid to hard hit Americans.”

The national average price of gasoline has fallen 1.1 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.16/g today. That is down 1.8 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 47.2 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
