Houston drivers are paying an average of 14 cents more per gallon of gas\u00a0than a week ago, according to new data from fuel-savings platform GasBuddy.<\/p>\n

A gallon of gas in Houston averaged $3.73 as of Monday, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 2,559 stations in Houston. GasBuddy<\/a> is an online tool that helps drivers find the cheapest local gasoline prices.<\/p>\n

“Average gasoline and diesel prices rose in every state over the last week as geopolitical tensions escalated on multiple fronts, with friction between the U.S. and Iran<\/a>, new hostilities in the Red Sea, and the shutdown of Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline all combining to jolt prices sharply higher,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, in a statement.<\/p>\n

Houstonians are paying 23.7 cents per gallon more than one month ago and $1.10 per gallon than one year ago, according to the data in the news release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, the national average price of diesel is up 31.6 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $6.183 per gallon.<\/p>\n

A Valero and Circle K station<\/a> on Gessner Road offered the city’s cheapest gas yesterday at $3.19 a gallon. The highest gallon in Houston was marked at $5.79.<\/p>\n

A year ago, Houston drivers were paying $2.63 a gallon, according to the GasBuddy data. Other Texas cities like Austin, College Station and Waco saw gas in their cities rise from 15-to-17 cents per gallon.<\/p>\n

“While most of the country transitions to cheaper winter-blend gasoline this week, the scale of ongoing geopolitical escalations makes meaningful price relief unlikely in the near term. Motorists should brace for continued volatility ahead,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Houston drivers are paying an average of 14 cents more per gallon of gas\u00a0than a week ago, according…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":435622,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57],"class_list":["post-435621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=435621"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/435621\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/435622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=435621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=435621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=435621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
