AAA says the crude oil prices having a consistent downward trajectory is leading to a drop in retail gasoline prices. But as Thanksgiving nears, fluctuations in prices are possible.
Recent information from the Energy Information Administration shows gasoline supplies are still building.
"Cheaper crude oil and growing gasoline supplies are contributing to more affordable retail fuel prices across the state," said Daniel Armbruster, spokesperson for AAA Texas. "As we approach the bustling Thanksgiving holiday travel period, some price fluctuations may be encountered, but the overarching trend throughout November suggests the possibility of reduced fuel costs. For the second week in a row, Texas is the cheapest state to buy gas in the country."
