LOCAL AND STATE GAS PRICES DOWN PRIOR TO HOLIDAY TRAVEL

  

Texas and nationwide gasoline prices declined this week.

AAA Texas on Tuesday reported the average price at the pump statewide was $2.28 per gallon, while gasoline prices nationally averaged $2.53 per gallon. Both are 3 cents less than last week.

Locally, gas prices averaged $2.29 per gallon.

The association survey found San Antonio has the cheapest gasoline in Texas this week at an average $2.20 per gallon. Drivers in El Paso face the highest gasoline prices statewide at $2.45 per gallon.

The auto club projects more than 3.6 million Texans will travel more than 50 miles by car this Thanksgiving holiday. That's the most in 12 years.
