TENSIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST PUSH CRUDE OIL PRICES HIGHER. THAT USUALLY MEANS GAS PRICES WILL ALSO BE GOING UP…BUT NOT JUST YET. NEW MEXICO’S STATEWIDE AVERAGE ACTUALLY DROPPED ONE CENT OVER THE LAST WEEK, NOW AT 2-25 A GALLON.
LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME GAS WAS SELLING FOR 3-39 ON AVERAGE. THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE COST OF GAS IN ALBUQUERQUE OR LAS CRUCES…IT DID GO DOWN 2 CENTS A GALLON IN SANTA FE.
