Tucson's average gas price jumped more than 25 cents per gallon this week amid strong demand and high oil prices, AAA says.
David Wichner Gas prices continued to rise sharply this week — with Arizona prices rising faster than the nation and Tucson prices jumping more than 25 cents per gallon — amid strong demand and high oil prices, AAA says.
In the past month, the statewide average gas price has risen about 60 cents per gallon, while Tucson's average price is up more than 80 cents. “When the cost of crude oil crosses the $80 a barrel mark, that puts a lot of upward pressure on what we pay at the pump,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesman."And as long as oil costs remain at the current level, drivers will likely see incremental price increases for now.”
