Gas Prices Are Back On The Rise

The statewide average price of a gallon of gas is up again, to $2.22 per gallon this week and AAA Communications Director Michelle Donati said we could be headed even higher.

“It’s really difficult to say what we may be looking at in terms of next week’s increase but it does look like prices are going to continue to move upward in the short term,” Donati said.

She said higher crude oil prices, along with refinery maintenance and a steelworkers strike, are pushing prices higher with the impact of a California refinery fire still to come. 

Flagstaff continues to have Arizona ’s highest average prices at $2.32, while Tucson drivers pay the lowest prices at $2.09.
