Gas prices continue to climb in Texas.

The statewide gas price average in Texas currently is $2.64 a gallon. AAA Texas says that price is seven cents more than on this day last week.

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.
