Average gasoline prices in Texas have fallen 6.5 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.70/g today, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 13,114 stations in Texas.

The national average price of diesel has increased 0.7 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $3.665 per gallon.

The national average price of gasoline has risen 2.2 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.14/g today. The national average is unchanged from a month ago and stands 1.8 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.

“The national average saw a slight increase last week, primarily driven by states that experienced price cycling just ahead of the switch back to winter gasoline,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Florida, Ohio, Michigan, and Maryland — all states known for routine price cycling — saw double-digit jumps to average gas prices. Now that much of the nation has begun the transition to cheaper winter gasoline and with driving demand seasonally tapering off as temperatures dip, gas prices face additional downward pressure. We’re still on track to potentially see the national average fall below $3 per gallon for the first time in years this autumn.”
