IT SEEMS, MOST OF THE TIME WE’RE HEADING INTO A LONG WEEKEND, GAS PRICES GO UP. SO THIS APPEARS TO BUCK THAT TREND. AAA NEW MEXICO SAYS THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE IS 2-76, UNCHANGED FROM LAST WEEK. BUT IT’S STILL 47 CENTS HIGHER THAN WHERE IT WAS AT THIS TIME LAST YEAR.
IN ALBUQUERQUE, THE PRICE IS DOWN 2 CENTS FROM LAST WEEK, NOW AVERAGING 2-69 A GALLON. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS 2-84, A ONE CENT INCREASE OVER LAST WEEK.
AAA NEW MEXICO SAYS GAS PRICES THIS LABOR DAY WEEKEND WILL BE AT THEIR HIGHEST POINT SINCE 2014.
