How gas prices have changed in Texas in the last week

TEXAS (Stacker) — Gas prices have rebounded slightly after more than 10 consecutive weeks of drops, bringing the national average to about where it was this same time last year.

Record U.S. oil production and slipping demand have kept prices at the pump lower and contributed to a welcome decline in overall inflation this year. If pre-pandemic seasonal trends still hold weight, that run of lower prices could be coming to an end, analysts noted this week.

“Daily gas prices will likely move back and forth for the next month or so,” AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a statement this week.

Florida, Texas, Delaware, and South Carolina have seen roughly 10-cent-per-gallon increases in their gas prices over the last week while prices have fallen the most in Idaho, Illinois, Nevada, and California.
