Texas Gas Average Hits New Record
HOUSTON, April 4, 2008 - A gallon of regular self-serve gasoline in Texas hit a new record high this week of $3.21, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch.
The lowest average on the survey is in Corpus Christi at $3.14 a gallon. Amarillo remains the highest priced on the list at $3.25 a gallon, up five cents from a week ago.
"Based on crude oil continuing to sell for more than $100 per barrel, it is unlikely lower gas prices lie ahead between now and the Memorial Day holiday weekend," said AAA Texas spokesperson Rose Rougeau.
