AAA: Gas prices plateau after four weeks of declines
HOUSTON (AP) _ Four weeks of declining Texas gas prices ended this week as average prices remained virtually unchanged this week, according to the weekly AAA Texas gas price survey released Friday.
The survey reported price trends varied around the state, but the statewide average retail price of regular self-serve gasoline remained virtually unchanged at two dollars 15 cents per gallon.
The most expensive gas this week was in Beaumont, where retail prices averaged $2.16 per gallon, down 1 cent. The cheapest was in Corpus Christi, where the pump price averaged $2.06 per gallon, despite a 3-cent increase that was the biggest in the state.
Fuel prices fell up to 3 cents per gallon in Galveston-Texas City, where they averaged $2.14 per gallon.
The national average retail price was $2.26, up 1 cent.
Auto club spokesman Jeffrey Spring said gas prices began inching back up in much of the state late this week.
"Traditionally, gas prices decline during winter and bounce back in the spring. Usually, the increase comes after spring starts, so this increase could just be a slight one for the moment," he said.
