Gas in the Phoenix area is about 50 cents higher than the national average

The price of a gallon of gas in Arizona is nearly 50 cents higher than the national average.

AAA Arizona spokesperson Julian Paredes says the cost may grow or shrink as you travel around the state.

“So the most expensive gas right now is in Maricopa County with averages around $4.54, and the cheapest gas is in Pima County at $3.63," Paredes said.

Paredes says fears of limited Russian gas supply had caused prices to temporarily go up, but costs seem to have stabilized in the United States.
