HOUSTON (AP) _ Retail gasoline prices crept an average of 10 cents per gallon higher in Texas but still remain about $1.24 per gallon cheaper than a year ago.
The weekly AAA Texas gasoline price survey released Thursday finds regular self-serve was averaging $1.92 per gallon in the 11 cities reporting. That’s eight cents cheaper than the national average of $2 per gallon.
San Antonio has the cheapest gas in the state at $1.85 per gallon, while the most expensive is $1.99 in El Paso.
Auto club spokeswoman Sarah Schimmer says industry analysts report the demand for oil is increasing, but that ample supplies make a repeat of last summer’s record prices unlikely.
