Gas Price Data Point From Texas: [View all]

Last edited Fri Mar 6, 2026, 10:50 AM - Edit history (1)

I drive a VW Beetle TDI (Diesel), and I love my bug. Before yesterday, my local gas station was charging $3.49 a gallon for diesel, up from $2.99 a week ago. I drove by yesterday and it had gone up to $4.49 a gallon!

More fuel (pun intended) for the blue tsunami!
