Retail Gas Prices Remain Flat as Most Texans Begin Spring Break
This week’s AAA Texas Gas Watch was released Thursday morning and it was good news for those driving over Spring Break. The average price for self-serve regular unleaded in Texas is $2.25 a gallon, unchanged from last week. The national average price is $2.44 a gallon, down one cent from last week.
The most expensive gas in the state is in Dallas, averaging $2.27 a gallon. Many Lubbock gas stations have self-serve regular unleaded priced around $2.24 a gallon.
“Spring Breakers taking road trips will definitely see a savings at the pumps compared to last year which will give them more money to spend on other parts of their trips,” said AAA Texas/New Mexico Representative Doug Shupe. “As people drive to warmer destinations and take a much needed break from school and work, we remind them to always wear their seatbelts, don’t drive distracted, drowsy or after drinking any amount of alcohol.”
