Average gasoline prices in Texas have fallen 3.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.70/g today, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Prices in Texas are 9.3 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 39.2 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has increased 0.9 cents in the last week and stands at $3.558 per gallon.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas was priced at $2.31/g yesterday while the most expensive was $4.10/g, a difference of $1.79/g.

The national average price of gasoline has risen 2.7 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.11/g today. The national average is up 2.2 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 39.7 cents per gallon lower than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.

“We’ve seen the national average inch up for the second straight week, but with renewed refinery issues on the West Coast, gas prices there are likely to jump 10-35 cents per gallon over the next couple weeks. Meanwhile, motorists in the Northeast should consider filling up soon, as the final step in the transition to summer gasoline is just a couple of weeks away— and with it, a likely increase in prices,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “As we head into April, Americans should expect gas prices to rise, with a peak that could occur in mid-to-late April. While average prices remain well below last year’s levels, we’ll likely begin to catch up, with prices expected to increase in most— if not all—states over the next few weeks. Continued uncertainty around whether tariffs will be implemented on April 2 could also impact pump prices, setting the stage for a volatile period for American drivers.”
