Arizona Gas Prices Hit Record High Amid Global Oil Price Volatility
Gas prices in Arizona have risen sharply this week, hitting $4.37 per gallon according to AAA Arizona's latest report.
The increase of 25 cents from last week is largely attributed to rising crude oil prices, which are currently trading at around $90 per barrel.
Aldo Vazquez, spokesperson for AAA Mountain West Group, noted that volatility in the Strait of Hormuz and regional instability have contributed to this spike in oil prices.
