HOUSTON (AP) - The records keep coming at Texas gasoline pumps.
The Triple-A Texas gas price survey released today found that
regular self-serve is averaging $3.21 per gallon statewide this
week. That's a 4-cent increase from last week. Nationally, the
average price rose 2 cents to $3.29 per gallon.
Auto club spokeswoman Rose Rougeau (roo-ZHOH') says crude oil
prices remaining above $100 per barrel will keep gasoline prices at
Texas pumps from falling before next month's Memorial Day weekend.
The cheapest gas in this week's Texas survey is in Corpus
Christi, where regular self-serve prices remain virtually unchanged
at $3.14 per gallon. The most expensive gas remains in Amarillo,
where the price average rose a nickel from last week to $3.25 per
gallon.
