AAA Texas expects gas prices to settle into the usual fall pattern, assuming significant disruptions, like hurricanes, do not happen. While some areas still see slightly elevated prices due to Hurricane Milton, savings should be on the horizon as the nation transitions to cheaper winter-blend gasoline.
“Gas prices should start to follow the typical autumn trends,” said Daniel Armbruster, a spokesperson for AAA Texas.
“We usually see them trending lower with the switch to the winter-blend fuel.”
