AAA Texas reported that the average price in the statewide jumped to $3.70 per gallon; the average gas price in nationwide was $3.86 per gallon, 16cents higher than the past week, before Hurricane Ike occurred. The residents in Austin seem to pay four cents higher than other cities as recovery efforts continue. Corpus Christi had a lowest gas price in the state, $3.62 per gallon. And Texarkana had the highest gas price, $3.78 per gallon. The state does not know how long the Texas residents will face the high gas price as oil fields has not recover from the hurricane yet.
