WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES. TRIPLE-A NEW MEXICO SAYS THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE FOR REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINE IS NOW 2-78 A GALLON. THAT’S UP THREE CENTS FROM LAST WEEK…AND 45 CENTS HIGHER THAN THIS TIME A YEAR AGO.
LAS CRUCES DRIVERS ARE PAYING THE MOST, AT 2-89 A GALLON…SANTA FE DRIVERS THE LEAST AT 2-71. MARKET ANALYSTS SAY THE PRICE OF GAS COULD RISE ANOTHER TEN CENTS THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY…THEN WILL LIKELY STABILIZE DURING THE SUMMER.
