Gas prices in Arizona dropped again this week thanks to the ongoing uncertainty in the financial markets and less demand, AAA Arizona said.
Statewide, drivers are paying about $3.43 for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline on average, according to the organization’s most recent price survey. That’s a drop of 6.5 cents from last week.
Scottsdale saw the biggest decline. Drivers there paid about $3.46 a gallon — 11.3 cents less than last week.
Prices dropped 7.5 cents to about $3.34 a gallon in the rest of the East Valley including Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe Ahwatukee, Apache Junction and Queen Creek.
