Gasoline Prices Dip Slightly
HOUSTON, December 28, 2007 - Gasoline prices nationally and statewide dipped for the fourth straight week, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch.
In Texas, the average dropped about a penny to $2.84 a gallon. The national average is $2.98, a decrease of a penny. “The end-of-the year is usually a time when demand for gasoline tapers off and retail prices start to drop,” said AAA Texas spokesperson Rose Rougeau. “Despite the recent decreases, the current averages remain 60 cents higher than last year.” Corpus Christi replaces Houston as the lowest average surveyed at $2.79 a gallon — down two cents. The Austin-San Marcos area has the highest average on the list at $2.90 a gallon — down slightly less than a penny.
