Gas prices are continuing to fall in Arizona, with the state average currently at $3.09. That’s a 38-cent drop from Dec. 1, according to AAA Arizona.
A relatively mild winter in the West is partly to thank.
“Right now there are a lot of winter storms happening across the country, it’s hurting refineries and transportation, but thankfully it’s not as big of a problem for us in the West Coast, so it’s part of the reason why prices are creeping up in some areas but gas is still getting cheaper here,” said Julian Paredes with AAA Arizona.
Other factors include global conflicts and other natural disasters. Paredes said prices are expected to increase toward the end of February.
