Texas Gas Taxes
Texas drivers pay about 20¢ per gallon in state gasoline taxes (roughly 38.4¢ with the 18.4¢ federal tax) — 13.7¢ below the 33.7¢ average across the 50 states and D.C. (approx., as of 2025).
Why Texas Prices Move
Texas prices still follow crude oil and refining margins, but proximity to Gulf Coast refineries and a lower state tax burden usually keep the weekly average below the national mean. Hurricanes and Gulf outages are the main shock risks.

Texas Gas Prices — Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the average gas price in Texas?
- The EIA publishes a weekly average retail price for regular gasoline, typically each Monday for the prior week. This page lists the current Texas weekly average with its survey date and trend. It is a survey average, not a live pump price.
- What is the gas tax in Texas?
- Texas drivers pay about 20¢ per gallon in state gasoline taxes (roughly 38.4¢ with the 18.4¢ federal tax) — 13.7¢ below the 33.7¢ average across the 50 states and D.C. (approx., as of 2025).
- Are these live pump prices in Texas?
- No. These are EIA weekly survey averages for Texas, not real-time prices at individual gas stations. Check local stations or a pump-price app for the current street price.
- Why is gas expensive (or cheap) in Texas?
- Texas gas is often cheaper than the U.S. average because of nearby refining capacity and a relatively low state gasoline tax (about 20¢/gal as of 2025, before the federal tax). Local spikes still happen when storms or outages hit Gulf facilities.
