AAA reported a continued decline in gas prices this week and the trend is reflected across the country, with the national average price 10 cents lower than in Arizona.
Spokesperson Julian Paredes said without any production or supply issues, the slow and steady price decline is expected to continue.
“Not anything too major but, yeah, it’s really just a full decline in demand,” said Paredes. “Less light outside, less people driving.”
He said demand typically slows as the days begin to get shorter.
“We’re right in the middle of our seasonal decline for gas prices,” Paredes said. “Things should still look pretty good for the next few weeks, and Thanksgiving is the next big thing to watch.”
And as always, prices vary depending on where you fill up your tank: “Gila County has the most expensive gas across Arizona, averaging about $3.39 there. La Paz County has the cheapest at $3.04.”
Paredes added that the statewide average, at $3.21 per gallon, is roughly 10 more cents than the national price.
