Gas Prices Jump 8 Cents a Gallon

AAA Arizona says the average gasoline price in Arizona has increased more than 8 cents over the past week. Arizonans are paying an average of slightly more than $2.01 for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline. The national average increased more than 12 cents to more than $2.26 a gallon. Globe-Miami prices are around $1.97 a gallon.

The price of crude oil climbed to a six-month high of $60 a barrel this week before settling in the high $50 range. Some retailers are preparing to shift to the federally mandated summer fuel blend which is cleaner burning but more expensive to produce.
