Gas prices continue to climb in Texas.

It's $.71 cents more a gallon compared to this day last year.
Daniel Armbruster with AAA Texas says, "Gas prices are continuing to increase despite the Energy Information Administration's latest report showing that the U.S. demand actually dropped week to week, and crude oil prices are stabilizing."
The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $2.88. That's 66 cents more than the price at this same time last year.
