Memorial Day gas prices highest ever
Consumers in Texas are paying the highest average prices ever for a gallon of gasoline this Memorial Day holiday, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch.
Texas’ current average of $3.08 per gallon for regular gas is only two-tenths of a cent short of the all-time record high set on May 23. The statewide average climbed 13 cents this week.
According to the website, Dallas gas prices rose 12.2 cents to $3.06 a gallon, while neighboring Fort Worth went up 12.6 cents to $3.06 per gallon.
Amarillo continues to lead the high-price list, going up 6.96 cents from last week to $3.28., while San Antonio has the lowest price per gallon at $2.99.
The national average is $3.23 a gallon — a new record average and a weekly increase of 11 cents.
“Pump prices set new record highs just about every day this week,” said Rose Rougeau, AAA Texas spokeswoman. “Refiners are stressed, supplies are tight, and demand continues as AAA projects travel this holiday to be about the same as last year when fuel prices were nearly 30 cents a gallon lower.”
