Gas prices continue to climb in Arizona

Arizona gas prices continue to tick upward, at about 25 cents higher than a month ago.

The average price per gallon is about $3.42 for regular unleaded, nearly a dime higher than the national average.

"This is all pretty typical for the season, prices are likely to keep rising for the next few weeks, especially with Spring Break travel coming up," AAA spokesperson Julian Paredes said. 

Maricopa County has the highest prices on average across the state at $3.48. Greenlee County has the lowest at $3.21.
