NEW MEXICO GAS PRICES ARE UNUSUALLY HIGH FOR OCTOBER. NORMALLY THE PRICE AT THE PUMP GOES DOWN IN THE FALL, BUT THAT’S NOT HAPPENING THIS YEAR. AND DANIEL ARMBRUSTER WITH TRIPLE-A NEW MEXICO SAYS THAT’S NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE FOR A WHILE. IF OIL PRICES DON’T TURN AROUND, GAS PRICES COULD CONTINUE TO RISE.
ARMBRUSTER SAYS GAS PRICES IN OCTOBER HAVEN’T BEEN THIS HIGH SINCE 2014…MAINLY DUE TO THE PRICE OF CRUDE OIL. ALBUQUERQUE’S AVERAGE PRICE IS NOW 2-82 A GALLON. THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE IS 2-86…42 CENTS HIGHER THAN A YEAR AGO.
