Historical gasoline prices in Texas and the national average going back ten years: May 22, 2022: $4.27/g (U.S. Average: $4.57/g) May 22, 2021: $2.75/g (U.S. Average: $3.03/g) May 22, 2020: $1.61/g (U.S. Average: $1.95/g) May 22, 2019: $2.55/g (U.S. Average: $2.85/g) May 22, 2018: $2.72/g (U.S. Average: $2.95/g) May 22, 2017: $2.16/g (U.S. Average: $2.35/g) May 22, 2016: $2.06/g (U.S. Average: $2.28/g) May 22, 2015: $2.51/g (U.S. Average: $2.74/g) May 22, 2014: $3.44/g (U.S. Average: $3.65/g) May 22, 2013: $3.43/g (U.S. Average: $3.66/g) Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $3.03/g, down 4.3 cents per gallon from last week's $3.08/g. San Antonio- $2.97/g, down 7.8 cents per gallon from last week's $3.05/g. Austin- $3.05/g, down 4.1 cents per gallon from last week's $3.09/g. "In the run up to Memorial Day, the national average price of gas has seen little overall movement over the last week. We've seen more states see prices climb than fall, which has been driven by oil's volatility as debt ceiling discussions are ongoing. I think we'll see prices rise slightly as we get closer to Memorial Day, especially if there are positive developments in the debt ceiling discussions in D.C., while pessimism could drive prices slightly lower," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "I continue to be optimistic that the national average will remain under $4 per gallon for most of, if not the entire summer, with Americans spending a combined $1.6 billion less on gasoline over Memorial Day weekend this year compared to last."
