AZ Gas Prices Are Up

Arizona motorists are paying more at the pump again this week.  Officials with AAA Arizona says the average statewide price for unleaded regular gasoline is $3.49 a gallon, 14 cents higher than last week. 

This week's national average is $3.62 per gallon, up by more than seven cents from last week. 

Analysts say the price rise has been propelled since mid-January by regional refinery issues and the approaching switchover to summer-blend gasoline.
