The statewide gas price average in Texas is $2.87 for a gallon of regular unleaded. That price is two cents less than on this day last week.
However, the price slide may be interrupted by news of last week’s fire at a major oil refinery. Four people were injured on December 23 after a fire was sparked at the Exxon Mobil Corp refinery in Baytown, Texas. The plant is one of the largest refining and petrochemical facilities in the US.
“If it [the refinery] can be back up and running normally in a few weeks, the effect could be minimal,” said AAA Texas spokesperson Joshua Zuber. “But if repairs take months, consumers could begin seeing higher prices again at the pump.”Drivers in Texas are paying the second lowest gas price average in the country, according to gasprices.aaa.com.The CBS DFW team is a group of experienced journalists who along with our many CBS 11 reporters, bring you content on CBSDFW.com.
