The AAA survey found that Amarillo had the cheapest gasoline in Texas this week at an average $1.79 per gallon. Drivers in El Paso have the most expensive gasoline among metro areas statewide at $1.94 per gallon.
AAA experts say drivers in the southern U.S. continue to enjoy some of the lowest gasoline prices in the country, partly due to the proximity to Gulf Coast refineries.
