AAA Anticipates Low Gas Prices Through 2015

2014 has been a great year as far as gas prices are concerned. So as we roll into 2015, will the low prices continue on?

"All signs are pointing to yes, we’re seeing prices ending 2014 at a near six-year low," said Stephanie Dembowski with AAA. "The statewide average for a price of gallon of gas in Arizona fell another 9 cents this week to $2.17 per gallon. Nationwide prices shed another 9.6 cents to $2.26 per gallon."

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Dembowski said AAA is expecting prices to continue to drop into the New Year.
