Breckenridge Texan

Average gasoline prices in Texas have fallen 7.6 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.54/g today, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Prices in Texas are 18.2 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 16.2 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has decreased 3.7 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $3.591 per gallon.

According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas was priced at $2.09/g yesterday while the most expensive was $3.99/g, a difference of $1.90/g.

The national average price of gasoline has fallen 4.1 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.98/g today. The national average is down 19.3 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 15.2 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.

“Gas prices have finally fallen below $3 per gallon nationally— the earliest date we’ve seen a $2.99 national average since 2020, when COVID was the primary driver of low prices,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “OPEC+ deserves much of the credit for this trend, having steadily raised oil production for much of 2025. Currently, 35 states have average gas prices below $2.99/gal, and GasBuddy even recorded the first $1.99 cash price at a station in Evans, Colorado, with stations in Oklahoma and Texas not far behind. Barring any major disruptions, gas prices are likely to remain slightly below year-ago levels and could stay under $3 for much of the next few months.”
