With the national average price of gasoline declining for the 10th straight week, motorists are enjoying the longest downward trend at the pump since the summer of 2022.

The timing couldn’t be better as Americans head into the holidays, leaving them with more in their wallets at a time of year many start to spend on gifts for loved ones, according to Patrick De Haan.

The head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy said in addition, gasoline demand continues to be dragged lower as Americans stay inside more often, helping to put continued downward pressure on gasoline prices.

“However, we’re carefully monitoring OPEC’s delayed meeting, set to occur this week, for potential surprises that could eventually mean an end to lower gas prices should they make any surprise oil production cuts,” De Haan said.

Average gasoline prices in Texas have fallen 10.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.66/g today, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 13,114 stations in Texas.
