The average for a gallon of regular gasoline in Arizona has increased 32 cents to $3.58 since last week. Meanwhile, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline jumped nearly 27 cents since last week to $3.25. The conflict in the Middle East has sent crude oil prices higher to the mid $70/barrel range. The increase puts the national average at the same price as it was in early April of 2025.

“Gas prices typically climb during springtime as gasoline demand rises and summer-blend gasoline production begins,” said Julian Paredes, AAA Mountain West Group spokesperson. “The last time the national average made a similar weekly jump was back in March of 2022 during the start of the Russia/Ukraine conflict.”
