Meanwhile, KRIS 6 News found some of the cheaper gas prices in Portland.
The H-E-B on the 1600 block of Wildcat Drive is selling a gallon of regular unleaded for $2.09 and and the Stripes Valero nearby is selling gas for $2.08.
Chad Delfino, who was visiting the Coastal Bend from Gainesville, Florida, was excited to see the low prices.
"Gas prices (there) are $2.65. This is great for me," Delfino said.
Delfino said the drop in gas prices comes at the perfect time because so many people are traveling out of town or just driving around running errands.
