Texas, US gasoline prices down average 3 cents per gallon

COPPELL, Texas (AP) - Retail gasoline prices in Texas and across the nation declined by 3 cents per gallon this week.

AAA Texas on Thursday reported the average price at the pump statewide was $2.21 per gallon. U.S. retail gasoline prices settled at $2.45 per gallon.

The association survey found San Antonio has the cheapest gasoline in Texas this week at an average $2.10 per gallon. Drivers in Midland face the highest gasoline prices statewide at an average $2.51 per gallon.

AAA analysts say drivers can expect prices to continue to drop heading into the holiday season as supply strengthens and fall gasoline demand weakens.
