As gas prices in Texas climb back over $4 per gallon, drivers must adapt their budgets and habits to the latest economic challenge.Tyler TodayGas prices in Texas have risen sharply in recent weeks, with the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded now at $3.87 statewide. Several cities, including El Paso and San Angelo, have already crossed the $4 per gallon threshold, a level not seen in the state for four years. The rise in prices is being driven by volatility in the crude oil market, though the national average has also jumped to $4.17 per gallon.
