Arizona gas prices are dropping, could get even lower

Arizona gas prices are dropping, and they could fall even further. 

Patrick Dehaan works for gasbuddy.com, which offers fuel price charts and ways to save money at the pump. He said a seasonal decrease in demand is responsible for the lower prices.

“For the last three weeks now the average price in Arizona has gone from $4.69 a gallon back at the last day of September and it’s dropped to $4.17 a gallon today — a 52 cent decline," Dehaan said.

The resolution of certain refinery issues and the switch to winter-blend gas could also be contributing to reduced fuel costs.
