WASHINGTON — Gas prices in parts of Arizona surpassed $5 a gallon on average Thursday, an 8-cent jump from a week ago, AAA data shows.
In some areas, prices for a gallon of regular gas are even higher:
- Glendale: $5.39

- Scottsdale: $5.38
Tucson's average price for regular gas is $4.53 a gallon and in Flagstaff, the average is $4.86.
Gas prices across the country have continued to rise for a second time in recent months thanks to several contributing factors including Saudi Arabia’s production cap and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
