IRVING, Texas (AP) - Retail gasoline prices rose across Texas and the nation this week, despite a crude oil price drop from more than $80 per barrel to around $76 per barrel.
The weekly AAA Texas gasoline price survey released Thursday shows the average price of a gallon of unleaded regular-grade rose 3 cents to $2.63 this week across Texas and 2 cents to $2.78 nationwide.
The auto club statement says gasoline supplies are stable with no interruptions resulting from events such as hurricanes.
The cheapest gasoline in the survey is found in San Antonio, where the average price rose 3 cents to $2.58 per gallon. The most expensive is in El Paso, where the average price climbed 3 cents to $2.78.
