State Gas-Price Average Jumps Seven Cents
HOUSTON, December 9, 2006 - The statewide average price of self-serve regular gasoline in Texas is $2.193 a gallon, a weekly increase of seven cents, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch.
Amarillo has the highest average on the list at $2.251 a gallon, up six cents, while the Galveston — Texas City area has the lowest average at $2.144 a gallon. “It is too early to tell if these higher pump prices will continue throughout the year,” said Rose Rougeau, spokesperson for AAA Texas. “At this point, there has not been any major storms or refinery problems that have affected production or output, but consumer demand for gasoline has been going up.”
The national average for regular self-serve gasoline is $2.300 — up five cents in one week.
