Gas pumps around town were no longer pumping or slowing down in the second half of this week, with the snow and ice creating a temporary shortage.
âWe have a little bit of unleaded plus,â Dilip Basnet said Thursday afternoon from his Shell Station on Lamar Avenue across from David House Jewelry. âWe were out of unleaded (gas) from two days ago.â
Likewise, many pumps around town, including CEFCO stations and the Murphy USA outside of Walmart were similarly empty or nearly empty. Because of the inclement weather conditions, wholesale gas vehicles have been unable to clear a way to Lamar County, creating a localized shortage.
The average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gas in the Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood area was $2.23 on Saturday. That’s 5 cents more than last week and 12 cents more
