\u201cLower gas prices will be welcome news for the record number of drivers heading out of town for the long holiday weekend,\u201d AAA said in a press release on Thursday. \u201cGas prices haven\u2019t been this low over Memorial Day since 2021 when the statewide average was $2.71. A record 3.2 million Texans are expected to drive 50 miles or more for leisure, this Memorial Day weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to AAA\u2019s weekend gas watch, Longview\u2019s gas prices are down 40 cents from last year, Texarkana\u2019s gas prices are down 42 cents from last year and Tyler\u2019s gas prices are down 36 cents from this time last year. AAA Texas spokesperson Daniel Armbruster said East Texans can thank supply and demand for these low prices. \u201cSupply and demand are playing a role in this year\u2019s lower pump prices as crude oil supply is currently surpassing demand,\u201d Armbruster stated.<\/p>\n
