THEY’RE NOT UP BY MUCH, BUT GAS PRICES ARE HIGHER AGAIN THIS WEEK … AND JOSH ZUBER WITH TRIPLE-A NEW MEXICO SAYS IT COMES AS GLOBAL SUPPLIES FOR CRUDE OIL GET TIGHTER. ZUBER TELLS US THE AVERAGE PRICE FOR A GALLON ON REGULAR UNLEADED IN NEW MEXICO IS 2-77 A GALLON .. UP THREE CENTS FROM THIS TIME LAST WEEK. FOR ABQ, THE PRICE IS SLIGHTLY LESS AT 2-74 A GALLON, ALSO A 3 CENT INCREASE.
ZUBER SAYS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THIS WEEK ENDED THE USE OF WAIVERS FOR COUNTRIES TO IMPORT OIL FROM IRAN. AND HE EXPECTS THE PRICE OF CRUDE … AND CONSEQUENTLY PRICES AT THE PUMP … TO GO UP.
