Gas Price Update
Gasoline prices are now lower than they were before Hurricane Harvey hit Houston, a major oil refinery region, in late August. As a result of the storm, and refinery outages, gasoline prices rose by 40 cents a gallon at the cheapest gas stations. During this entire time, the price of gas at the Exxon station stayed the same -- $2.799/gallon.
Now, the price at Valero and Raceway stations is $2.299/gallon. BP and Sunoco are in between.
