(April 12, 2021) - Texas gas prices have fallen 1.4 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.60/g today, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 13,114 stations in Texas. Gas prices in Texas are 0.8 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 97.3 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Texas is priced at $2.24/g today while the most expensive is $3.50/g, a difference of $1.26/g. The lowest price in the state today is $2.24/g while the highest is $3.50/g, a difference of $1.26/g. The national average price of gasoline has fallen 2.1 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.85/g today. The national average is down 0.5 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands $1.02/g higher than a year ago. Neighboring areas and their current gas prices: Midland Odessa- $2.84/g, down 1.2 cents per gallon from last week's $2.85/g. San Antonio- $2.39/g, down 5.8 cents per gallon from last week's $2.44/g. Austin- $2.50/g, down 2.1 cents per gallon from last week's $2.52/g. "It has been a fairly tame last few weeks at the pump for most areas after a particularly active February and March when prices were screaming higher," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "After surging back then, we've seen the price increases fade, and while we haven't seen much of a decline, prices have been holding near their yearly highs. For now, it feels like the risk of seeing the national average climb to $3/gal has been delayed by a recent surge in COVID-19 cases both here and abroad, limiting the upside to gasoline demand, but should things begin to improve, especially as we get closer to the start of the s u m m e r, w e s t i l l h a v e potential to see summer gas prices at their highest levels in years. Make no mistake, gas prices this year will be tied to the hip of the Covid situation." GasBuddy is the authoritative voice for gas prices and the only source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades. Unlike AAA's once daily survey covering credit card transactions at 100,000 stations and the Lundberg Survey, updated once every two weeks based on 7,000 gas stations, GasBuddy's survey updates 288 times every day from the most diverse list of sources covering nearly 150,000 stations nationwide, the most comprehensive and up-to-date in the country.

After four years and three months, two tours overseas with one tour of combat in Iraq as a United States Marine, Scooter Brown traded his guns in for guitars and hit the road. Scooter Brown Band was formed and began playing mainly in and around Houston, Texas. They have toured North America and opened for some of their biggest influences including Charlie Daniels B a n d , Tr a v i s Tr i t t , Dwight Yoakam, Lee Roy Parnell and the Marshall Tucker Band, just to name a few. With two of the members having served in the military, they dedicate significant time doing work for Ve t e r a n S u p p o r t Organizations like Base Camp 40 - Warriors in the Wild, Lone Survivor Foundation and the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation. For the last few years the band has been building a new era in their career. Releasing American Son in late 2017 solidified the band’s unique blend of country and rock with various other influences and was lauded by Rolling Stone. Spotify supported the title track on multiple playlists and continues to show support as new music was released throughout 2020. “Leave It To A Wo m a n ” s h o w e d a different side of the band with a more traditional country sound, which was then followed up with “Something Waylon Would Sing.” The latter was picked up by SiriusXM Outlaw Country and is continuously among the top songs played. In 2020, Brown teamed up w i t h Ve t e r a n o w n e d Merica Bourbon for a special Scooter Brown Merica Bourbon Signature Series. The band has been tirelessly working on new music, gearing up to release a slew of new songs in the coming year. For more information, please visit scooterbrownband.com.
