Why is gas so expensive in Arizona?
My best friend lives in Arizona and I’m visiting her for two weeks. I was going to drive, but I just checked the gas prices—why are they so expensive?

No matter what state you visit, gas prices have gone through the roof, but gas is so expensive in
Arizona
mainly due to: - Volatile crude oil market
- Increased demand and low supply
- Oil blend switches in the summer
The average gas price today is 5.297 per gallon for regular unleaded compared to just $3.116 at the same time last year. As for diesel, the average cost is $5.889 per gallon. Although you may not be able to control the price of gas in Arizona, there are some things you can do to reduce your fuel consumption:
- Ensure your tires are inflated
- Don’t speed
- Accelerate gently
- Minimize cold engine operation
- Use cruise control
- Avoid excessive idling
- Anticipate road conditions
With rising gas prices, finding other ways to reduce vehicle expenses is important—like shopping around for car insurance. When you use
