CTX Gas Prices Are On The Decline: Details On How To Save Money

Tis the season for hurting pockets and low balances in your bank account but we know gas prices can't take all the blame.

In November, gas prices were causing a major pain when pulling up to the pump but things are noticeably changing. Central TX gas prices have decreased in the last few weeks.

According to KXXV and Daniel Armbruster the spokesperson for AAA Texas, "Prices in Waco are down about 17 cents over the last month, per gallon for regular unleaded."

Last month President Joe Biden tapped into the U.S. oil reserve but the oil won't make it into the market for at least 2-3 weeks and it's unclear what type of effect it will have on gas prices. Sources believe that in the future we could see a significant difference if Crude Oil continues to decrease its prices as well.
