Gas in Texas cost $3.086 per gallon on average in January and February 2023 Texas also had the second lowest increase in gas prices over a ten year period California and Hawaii had the highest prices in 2023 at $4.907 and $4.617
A new study found that Texas has had the cheapest gas prices in the nation so far in 2023, coming in at 37 cents per gallon below the national average.
The car subscription service Finn found Texans paid an average $3.086 for regular-grade gas in January and February, below the current national average of $3.40.
Finn's study found Texans could drive the furthest on $50 of gas, which in Texas bought about 16.2 gallons and in a Ford F-150 would fuel drivers for 356.45 miles.
Tailing Texas for the cheapest gas were Mississippi with an average of $3.124 per gallon, and Oklahoma and Missouri with averages of $3.136 per gallon.
The most expensive states for gas were Hawaii, where gas cost an average of $4.907 per gallon, and California where a gallon cost $4.617 on average.
The data from Finn noted that Texas ranked sixth in the nation for the number of miles residents travelled in a day, and for the increase in driven miles over 23 years.
'Across the US, Texas ranks sixth for daily travel with 17,123 lane miles and is also in sixth place for an increase in vehicle miles of travel since 2000, with a rate of 49%,' the study read.
'This is 23% higher than the national average, which stands at 26%.'
Since the survey was carried out, gas prices have dropped even lower in Texas, and sat at $2.97 per-gallon on Monday. That is slightly more expensive than Mississippi, which has the nation's cheapest gas at $2.95-a-gallon.
