The deal comes as fuel costs trend higher statewide and nationally. AAA Texas’ Weekend Gas Watch reported the Texas average for regular unleaded rose 13 cents in a week to $3.55, while the Houston metro average was about $3.42, tying Houston with several East Texas metros for the lowest average among major metro areas in the state. Nationally, AAA listed the average for regular unleaded at about $3.94.
AAA has linked the upward pressure to volatility in crude oil markets, including uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route, as crude prices approach $80 per barrel.
