Gasoline prices edge higher as refinery issues, drop in supplies affect prices
Average gasoline prices in Texas have risen 9.3 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.57/g today, Nov. 10, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Prices in Texas are 8.6 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 2.4 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has increased 6.5 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $3.728 per gallon.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas was priced at $2.17/g yesterday while the most expensive was $3.79/g, a difference of $1.62/g.
The national average price of gasoline has risen 4.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.03/g today. The national average is down 4.0 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 0.8 cents per gallon higher 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 price of gasoline edged higher last week, with the vast majority of states seeing prices climb,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “Refinery issues in the Great Lakes and West Coast have kept prices elevated, and gasoline inventory data from the government showed another large weekly drop in supplies, which has temporarily propped up prices. With thousands of flight cancellations ahead of Thanksgiving due to the FAA flight cuts, there could be slight shifts in gasoline demand, which may limit any near-term declines.”
