No relief in sight for high gas prices

Comments 0 | Recommend 0

Gas at one station hits $3.54

Don't expect a relief in high gas prices anytime soon.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said there isn't any immediate solutions that would help relieve the pain at the pump that motorists across the Rio Grande Valley and nation are experiencing.

Cornyn made the statement during a teleconference call with reporters across the state where he talked about the rising gas prices.

As of this afternoon, the Exxon gasoline station on FM 802 and Expressway 77/83 is selling a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline for $3.54. Prices at other gasoline retailers ranged from $3.49 to $3.44 for a gallon of regular unleaded. 

Analysts expect the price for a gallon of regular unleaded to climb to $4 by summer.
