The statewide average gas price in Texas is $2.31 for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel — 4 cents fewer than last week and 29 cents fewer per gallon than last year, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch.

Compare Texas' average with the nation's current average $2.58, and we're sitting pretty.

"Texans continue to see savings at the gas pump as prices remain on a downward trend heading into Labor Day weekend," said Daniel Armbruster, a AAA Texas spokesperson. "While it's possible some areas may see slight price increases ahead of the holiday weekend, which isn't atypical, any jumps will be short-term."

Texas' average gas price has not been cheaper over Labor Day weekend since 2016, when the average price was $2.01 per gallon.
