Gas prices keep falling

It’s costing you a lot less at the gas pump lately. Gasbuddy.com puts the statewide average price for gas today at $3.82 a gallon, which is down 17 cents in the last week and it’s off more than 70 cents a gallon in the last month. In El Campo, you can find gas prices as low as $3.59 for a gallon of regular unleaded, or up to just shy of $4.00 a gallon. It’s still costing you a lot more than it was at this time last year, when the average price of gas statewide was $2.82 a gallon. The national average today is at $4.34 a gallon.
