HOUSTON (AP) - Retail gasoline prices in Texas are down 7 cents this week in part because of the end of the summer driving season.

AAA Texas reported Thursday that the average price of regular unleaded was $3.58. The national average is $3.79.

Travel agency officials say that while pump prices are higher than a year ago, they are coming down because of the end of summer and the resolution of regional supply and distribution issues.

In Texas, Amarillo has the most expensive gas at $3.63, while Corpus Christi is the cheapest at $3.51.
