Gas prices around the state dropped nine cents to $4.71 a gallon the week of May 29, and the national average dropped 16 cents to $4.31 a gallon.
“Although prices have dropped after Memorial Day demand passed, gas prices remain the highest they’ve been in four years,” said AAA Mountain West Group spokesperson Aldo Vazquez in a release. “They’ll likely remain elevated as the busy summer driving season gets underway.”
The drops at pumps in Chandler appear to have been significant as well the week of May 29, according to gasbuddy.com, among the non-club stations that are regularly listed.
