PHOENIX (AP) - Gasoline prices around Arizona are higher again at the pumps this week.
Officials with Triple-A Arizona said Thursday that the average statewide price for unleaded regular gasoline is $2.75 a gallon. That’s an increase of more than a nickel from last week.
This week’s national average also is $2.67 per gallon, up by almost 3 cents from last week.
Triple-A analysts say Arizona fuel prices continue to be plagued by refinery issues on the West Coast.
Tucson has Arizona’s lowest average gasoline price at $2.43 a gallon and Flagstaff the highest at $2.94.
South Carolina has the lowest average gas prices among states in the continental U.S. at $2.37 a gallon with California the highest at $3.79 a gallon.
