We are going to be traveling through Texas in a week and I was wondering what the prices are doing there now?

I am finding gas buddy,etc sites are not as accutate as they used to be. I think it is because the prices are fluctuating so much that they can't keep up. Thanks!

It'l float up and down depending on where you are . . right now $2.55 in Houston . . last week we had a low of $2.49

redrockglass

Wow! Thanks alot for your reply. We're at 3.05 in the Cleveland area. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.

Austin ranges from $2.69 to about $2.79 this week.

$2.299 at a Valero near my home in SW Houston.

Elsewhere mostly around $2.50

I filled up yesterday in Arlington, a small city near Dallas/Fort Worth. I paid 2.49 at the Racetrack gas station.

(I have to say, the stations a little further off the Interstates tend to be cheaper. If you are getting off the Interstate to buy gas, and you appear to be in a heavily populated area, try driving a block or two "in" and see if you can find a cheaper price. I think the stations right on the frontage/feeder roads are higher, 'cause they kind of "gotcha" if you're traveling through.)

WOW, Belgium is really expensive! I guess I won't complain.

Texas looks like it really has great prices! Just another thing that is great about that Great State

"$2.299 at a Valero near my home in SW Houston."

This is a little off the subject, but isn't it silly how gas is priced down to the 9/10th of a cent? I understand that $2.299 looks better on the sign than $2.30, but I still think it's silly. I can't think of any other product where it's acceptable practice to price something in fractions of a cent.

P_M: I forgot which state, but I know in some places the last digit doesn't have to be a 9. So, it can be 2.547/gallon.

BTW, at that Valero, it's 2.349 today. Up 5 cents since last week.

"We're at 3.05 in the Cleveland area. Why? Your guess is as good as mine."

The retail pirce of gasoline is very much a matter of supply and demand . . . how many refinerys in Cleveland?

dsgmi

There's a Marathon refinery right in Detroit, but the gas here is about $3.099/gal. I'd love to know what the deal is there. Supposedly they can do 1000000 bpd!

Rich

Just for comparison . . There are around 15 Refineries in the Houston area
