AUSTIN, TX – If you are among the 37 million Americans predicted to travel this Memorial Day, then when planning your trip you need to know how much it will cost to refuel in Austin.
One thing is for sure, prepare your wallet to take a big blow this Memorial Day. The American Automobile Association predicts that gasoline prices will hit a high since 2014.
In fact, AAA data shows the average price for a gallon of gasoline in Williamson County on Monday was $ 2.66. The average price for a gallon of gasoline in Travis County was $ 2.69 on Monday. The average prices are updated here daily.
According to the AAA, demand is likely to drive prices higher this year as the holiday approaches. As demand increases, gas stations need to adjust their delivery schedules to keep up. This could also lead to some fuel failures in more popular destinations, predicts AAA.
A recent shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline, which provides 45 percent of the fuel used by the Eastern and Southeastern states, could also impact prices and fuel supplies ahead of the holiday, according to the AAA.
It’s likely anyone who drives will experience a sticker shock this year. Everyone who traveled on last Memorial Day enjoyed some of the lowest gasoline prices in 2020 years. On that holiday weekend in the United States, gasoline averaged about $ 1.87 a gallon.
