(September 15, 2006)--Retail gasoline prices fell for the sixth week in a row this week as lower demand and a calm hurricane season continues to translate into lower pump prices.
The weekly AAA-Texas gas price survey shows the retail price of regular, self-serve gasoline averages $2.44per gallon statewide, down 13 cents from last week.
Nationally, the average price fell 13 cents to $2.58 per gallon.
Auto club spokeswoman Rose Rougeau says several factors contributed to the price fall including lower demand after the end of the summer driving season, the calmer tropics and a steep fall in crude oil prices.
Rougeau points out that crude prices fell below $64 a barrel this week after topping $78 in mid-July.
The state's cheapest gas was reported in Corpus Christi, where the price averaged $2.23 a gallon, down 16 cents from last week.
The most expensive gas remains in El Paso, where the price averages $2.64 a gallon despite a ten-cent decrease.
Around the state Friday, prices ranged from as little as $2.09 a gallon at a station in Rusk to as much as $2.69 a gallon at a station in Garvin, according to TexasGasPrices.com.
