Arizonans are feeling relief at the pump as the average for a gallon of regular gasoline dropped 14 cents in the last week to $4.48. This follows a national trend where the average for a gallon of regular has been falling for three straight weeks, offering a timely respite for drivers during the busy summer travel season.

“Since May 21, the national average has dropped from $4.56 to $4.12 thanks to crude oil prices remaining below $100 per barrel,” said Aldo Vazquez, spokesperson for AAA Mountain West Group. “Gas prices typically peak around this time of year, but uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz makes this year more unpredictable. Pump prices remain at four-year highs, but the national average is currently far from the record set on June 11, 2022, of $5 per gallon.”
