Texas drivers paid more for gasoline last month than they have in any September on record. <\/p>\n

The statewide average for regular unleaded gas hit $3.94 per gallon last month, making it the most expensive September in Texas history, according to a report released Thursday by AAA Texas<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Drivers in El Paso paid the most on average at $4.34 per gallon, according to the agency, a regional affiliate of the American Automobile Association. Customers in McAllen paid the least at an average of $3.74 per gallon. <\/p>\n

The agency attributed the new record to ongoing conflict involving the Strait of Hormuz, which facilitates about a quarter of the ocean’s global oil trade, according to UN Trade and Development.<\/a> <\/p>\n

“While crude oil prices have recently eased back into the $90-per-barrel range, gasoline prices remain unusually high for this time of year,” said AAA Texas spokesperson Daniel Armbruster. <\/p>\n

The last time Texas broke its September record for gasoline prices was in 2012, when gas prices averaged $3.63 per gallon. <\/p>\n

The highest statewide average ever was set in June 2022 at $4.69 per gallon, AAA Texas said. <\/p>\n
