Gas prices on the rise due to refinery maintenance
Refinery maintenance in California and Arizona's reliance on multiple fuel blends are driving up gas prices in the state, leaving experts split on whether drivers should expect a quick drop or continued volatility.

Many Arizonans hope gas prices will drop, especially given recent declines compared to a year ago, but a fair number are also skeptical, given how volatile oil markets are, how supply issues (like refinery maintenance, blends, pipeline constraints) keep creeping up, and how summer demand tends to push prices back up. The rise in prices across the board is also causing them to be skeptical. So, net-net — confidence is probably mixed: People may expect modest declines or stabilization, but large drops soon might seem unlikely to many.
