WE’RE STARTING TO SEE A BUMP IN GAS PRICES IN NEW MEXICO. DANIEL ARMBRUSTER WITH AAA NEW MEXICO SAYS THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MAJOR FACTORS DRIVING THE INCREASES: THE COMBINATION OF LABOR DAY DEMAND AND INCREASES AND TIGHT SUPPLY LEVELS FROM THE GULF. THAT COULD RAISE PRICES BY 15 CENTS A GALLON.
THE STATEWIDE PRICE NOW AVERAGES 2-33 A GALLON, UP FOUR CENTS FROM WEDNESDAY, AND EIGHT MORE CENTS FROM THIS TIME LAST WEEK.
A CHECK OF PRICES ON “ALBUQUERQUE-GAS-PRICES.COM” SHOWS SOME STATIONS STILL SELLING GAS AT 2-10 A GALLON.
