Gas prices in the Valley dropped slightly despite more instability in the Middle East, as a gallon of gas averaged $4.62 a gallon, down one cent from last week, according to AAA Arizona.
“Pump prices are currently comparable to early June of this year,” said David Caltabiano, AAA Mountain West Group spokesperson in a release on Thursday. “The state and national average are both increasing during a season when gas prices typically go down due to lower gasoline demand after Labor Day.”
In Scottsdale, the price of a gallon of regular gas climed $4.77, an increase of 3 cents from last week.
