WTI crude has risen $14.99/bbl over the past month. Retail gasoline typically follows crude moves with a 2–4 week lag as refined fuel works through the supply chain.

Regular gasoline in Texas is currently priced at $3.644 per gallon, up $0.098 from last week as crude oil prices remain elevated. This price increase follows a brief period of stability, though Texas drivers are still paying less than many other states thanks to the region's robust refining capacity. At this level, Texas gas remains relatively affordable compared to national averages, reflecting the state's advantageous position in the U.S. fuel supply chain.
A typical 15-gallon fill-up in Texas now costs approximately $54.66, up about $1.47 from a week ago. While Texas benefits from some of the lowest state gas taxes in the nation (around 20 cents per gallon), the current price reflects rising crude costs that have pushed WTI to $88.58 per barrel. The spread between regular and premium gas is about 85 cents per gallon, a relatively modest gap that gives Texas drivers some flexibility in fuel choices.
Texas gas prices are heavily influenced by the state's substantial refining capacity—home to more than 30 percent of U.S. refinery output—which typically keeps prices competitive despite lacking a state gas tax dedicated solely to highways. The proximity of major refineries in the Houston Ship Channel and along the Gulf Coast means Texas drivers benefit from lower transportation costs than inland states, though hurricane season and seasonal maintenance can disrupt supply. Additionally, Texas uses a standard nationwide gasoline blend rather than stricter environmental formulations, keeping production costs lower than states like California.
With WTI crude at $88.58 per barrel and Brent at $96.12, the recent $0.098 weekly jump reflects the upward pressure from crude markets over the past few weeks. Typically, crude price changes take 2 to 6 weeks to fully flow through to pump prices as refineries work through existing inventory and adjust production schedules. If crude remains near current levels, Texas drivers should expect prices to stabilize in the near term, though further crude increases would likely push pump prices higher within the next month.
💡 Money-Saving Tip: Texas drivers should fill up earlier in the week, particularly on Monday or Tuesday, when prices tend to be lower before the weekend surge; checking apps like GasBuddy can reveal which stations offer the best daily deals. Consider switching to E85 ethanol blend fuel if your vehicle supports it—many Texas stations offer E85 at a significant discount, sometimes 30 to 40 cents cheaper per gallon than regular unleaded.
Gas prices in Texas may experience slight upward pressure if crude oil continues to trade above $85 per barrel, though the state's refining advantage should keep any increases modest compared to national trends. Watch for any disruptions to Gulf Coast refinery operations and monitor crude prices closely, as summer driving season is winding down and demand typically softens in late August, which could provide some relief at the pump.
Regular gasoline in Texas currently averages $3.532 per gallon, down $0.112 from last week. Prices are sourced weekly from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and reflect averages across retail stations in the region.
