HISTORICALLY, AS SUMMER APPROACHES, GAS PRICES TEND TO RISE IN ANTICIPATION OF INCREASED DEMAND. THAT DOESN’T APPEAR TO BE THE CASE SO FAR THIS YEAR.
AAA NEW MEXICO SAYS THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE IS DOWN A NICKEL FROM LAST WEEK, NOW AT 2-25 A GALLON. DRIVERS IN THE ALBUQUERQUE METRO ARE PAYING 2-16, ON AVERAGE. THAT’S DOWN SEVEN CENTS FROM LAST WEEK. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS 2-32, FOUR CENTS LESS THAN A WEEK AGO.
