The statewide average price for regular unleaded gasoline in Texas is $3.70 a gallon, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch. That is six cents lower than a week ago and $1.10 more than on the same day last year. Texas is one of 16 states with average prices under $4 a gallon, and it ranks third least expensive in the nation, behind North Carolina and Georgia.
Among the major Texas metro areas surveyed, El Paso has the highest average at $4.11 a gallon. Sherman-Denison has the lowest at $3.46. The national average is $4.22 a gallon, five cents lower than last week and $1.19 higher than a year ago.
Daniel Armbruster, a spokesperson for AAA Texas, said the statewide average has dropped about 25 cents over the past month. He said October is shaping up to be the most expensive October for Texas gas prices, with a statewide average of about $3.81, which is $1.16 higher than in October 2025. He said fuel prices typically drop in November and December as demand falls.
