Texans do have something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, despite food prices being up. Gas prices remain low and have been trending down for the past several weeks. AAA now has the statewide average for regular unleaded at $2.69 per gallon, 10 cents less than a year ago and nearly 40 cents below the national average of $3.08 per gallon. Houston's average is even better, at $2.62 per gallon. "We've seen gasoline demand decrease and supply levels have risen, and so that's really putting us in a good place for relatively lower prices at the pump in the days to come," says Doug Shupe with AAA Texas.
