This Fort Worth station sells the cheapest gas even as prices rally nationwide
Average gas prices in Fort Worth spiked 20.6 cents a gallon from last week to start the new year, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 1,039 stations.
Frigid weather over the Christmas weekend led to refinery issues in the United States, “shutting down over a million barrels of refining capacity, pushing wholesale prices up,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
“For the first time in two months, the nation’s average price of gasoline rose sharply last week,” De Haan said.
The bump in oil prices looks like it will be temporary as refineries thaw out and get back to full capacity, the GasBuddy analyst said. Add to that China’s shedding of a years-long COVID-zero policy, the world oil market sees global demand beginning to recover.
“Most areas have seen the bulk of the rise already hit, but should oil continue to rally, more increases could be on the way,” De Haan warned.
Neighboring areas and their current gas prices:
Dallas — $2.87 a gallon, up 18.8 cents from last week.
Waco — $2.75 a gallon, up 27.1 cents last week.
College Station — $2.76 a gallon, up 12.4 cents from last week.
