SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — Only a week after San Antonio tied El Paso for the biggest jump in gas prices in Texas, the alamo City is now talking about the biggest drop.
This is good news for thousands in the area who are planning on taking a trip somewhere by car over Thanksgiving.
“Steady gas prices are good news for the millions of Texans preparing to travel for Thanksgiving,” said Daniel Armbruster, spokesperson for AAA Texas. “Current market conditions are keeping pump prices in check, and barring any unexpected disruptions, we anticipate relatively calm conditions heading into the holiday rush.”
The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded in San Antonio is $2.62, which is down 18 cents from last week.
The statewide gas price average in Texas is $2.65 per gallon for regular unleaded fuel, according to AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch. That price is one cent more when compared to this day last week and is four cents less per gallon compared to this day last year.
Of the major metropolitan areas surveyed in Texas, drivers in San Angelo are paying the most on average at $2.79 per gallon while drivers in Lubbock are paying the least at $2.46 per gallon.
The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $3.08, which is the same price when compared to this day last week and the same price when compared to this day last year.
