DRIPPING SPRINGS – With the county’s average gas price nearing $4, the Dripping Springs ISD (DSISD) Board of Trustees will consider entering an interlocal agreement with TASB Energy Cooperative next Monday.
As of April 18, the national average price for regular unleaded gas is $4.087 and the state’s is $3.713, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA). For Hays County, that’s only a few cents cheaper at $3.701.
If the Board chooses to approve, the purpose of the district’s agreement with TASB Energy Cooperative would be to provide additional options for purchasing fuel and other energy. These options could potentially help DSISD defray the rising cost of fuel. It is free of charge to join and there is no obligation to purchase fuel or energy once in the cooperative.
