PHOENIX (AP) - Gasoline prices around Arizona dropped slightly at the pumps this week.
Officials with Triple-A Arizona said Thursday that the average statewide price for unleaded regular gasoline is $2.13 per gallon, down by almost a penny from last week.
This week’s national average is $2.19 per gallon, up by more than 4 cents from last week.
Triple-A analysts say the price of crude oil is hovering around the $50-a-barrel range, which is higher than recent months and causing prices to rise slightly in most regions.
Tucson currently has Arizona’s lowest average gasoline price at $1.95 a gallon and Flagstaff the highest at $2.30.
Missouri has the lowest average gas price among states in the continental U.S. at $1.97 a gallon and California the highest at $2.66.
