Regular gasoline in Texas averages $3.51 per gallon as of the EIA week of 2026-08-10 — $0.49 below the national average of $4.01. Texas sits on top of the largest refining complex in the world — the Gulf Coast refines more gasoline than it uses, so transport costs are minimal. Add a low state gas tax (20¢ per gallon, unchanged since 1991) and conventional fuel blends, and Texas pump prices run consistently among the lowest in the country.
