Glendale Gas Prices Hit $4.49 Amid Crude Oil Price Spike

Gas prices have surged in the Valley by another 12 cents per gallon this week, reaching $4.49 per gallon as of Friday, according to AAA Arizona.

Aldo Vazquez, spokesperson for AAA Mountain West Group, noted that August typically brings some relief at the pump as road trips wind down and fall routines get underway for many families.

However, elevated crude oil prices could hinder this seasonal shift from starting just yet, Vazquez said.
