(Irving, TX) – Drivers taking a road trip to celebrate the New Year will get another break at the gas pumps. According to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel in the Lone Star State is now $2.05. That’s 10 cents less than last week and a dollar and seven cents less than one year ago. Of the major metropolitan areas surveyed in Texas, drivers in Corpus Christi are paying the most at $2.18 per gallon while drivers in Fort Worth are paying the least at $1.91 per gallon. The average in Texas is 22 cents less than the national average of $2.27 per gallon.
AAA Texas forecasted 8.1 million Texans will travel 50 miles or more away from home from Tuesday, December 23 through Sunday, January 4. The majority, 7.5 million, are taking trips by automobile and are benefitting even more from this latest drop in retail gas prices.
