The cost to fill up is rising across North Texas.<\/p>\n

As the workweek began on Monday, drivers saw prices above $3 per gallon at many stations. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the average price for regular unleaded was $3.19 per gallon on Monday, up from $2.62 one week earlier, according to AAA Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lateatra Wayne of Mansfield commutes to Fort Worth and said she has already noticed the increase.<\/p>\n

“Prices are becoming ridiculously high,” Wayne said. \u201cI’m rolling with it for right now, but there’s definitely a concern there that it may increase.\u201d<\/p>\n

The latest spike at the pump is tied to rising crude oil prices and global uncertainty related to war in Iran. Crude oil recently rose to $118 a barrel before ending just below $100 a barrel<\/a>, among the highest prices since the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Even with the recent increase, prices remain well below the North Texas record of $4.84 per gallon set in June 2022, three months after Russia invaded Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Daniel Armbruster with AAA Texas said prices are not yet close to a level that would cause drivers to cancel travel plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least here in the short term, we’re likely going to see prices higher than what we saw a year ago,” Armbruster said.<\/p>\n

He said drivers can make small adjustments to help stretch a tank of gas.<\/p>\n

“Just simple things like driving smoothly, keeping your vehicle well-maintained, planning your trips out,” Armbruster said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The cost to fill up is rising across North Texas.
