THE GOOD NEWS IS: GAS PRICES ARE DOWN THIS WEEK IN NEW MEXICO AND ACROSS THE NATION. THE BAD NEWS IS … NOT BY MUCH. DOUG SHUPE WITH AAA NEW MEXICO SAYS PRICES MOVED HIGHER WITH THE BUSY THANKSGIVING TRAVEL PERIOD.
HE SAYS NOW PRICES ARE STARTING TO MOVE DOWNWARD. THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE FOR NEW MEXICO RIGHT NOW IS 3-04 FOR A GALLON OF REGULAR UNLEADED. THAT'S ONLY A PENNY LESS THAN LAST WEEK'S STATEWIDE AVERAGE. BUT SHUPE TELLS US IT'S ALSO 16 LESS THAN WHAT WE WERE PAYING THE SAME TIME LAST YEAR … AND 21 CENTS UNDER THE CURRENT NATIONAL AVERAGE.
