GAS PRICES ACROSS NEW MEXICO HAVE LEVELED OFF FINALLY … BUT PROBABLY NOT FOR LONG. JOSHUA ZUBER WITH TRIPLE-A NEW MEXICO SAYS PRICES HAVE STEADILY GONE UP IN FEBRUARY … BUT THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE IS THIS WEEK THE SAME AS IT WAS LAST WEEK AT 2-28 A GALLON.
HE SAYS ALBUQUERQUE IS DOWN THREE CENTS FROM A WEEK AGO, NOW AT 2-23 A GALLON. DRIVERS IN FARMINGTON WILL PAY MORE AT 2-30 A GALLON, AND LAS CRUCES IS PAYING 2-27 A GALLON FOR GAS.
ZUBER SAYS WE COULD SEE GAS PRICES FLUCTUATE NOW … BUT SAYS AS WE MOVE INTO MAY AND JUNE, THEY’RE MORE LIKELY TO RISE WITH SPRING REFINERY SEASON BEGINNING THEN.
