Arizona Gas Prices Set to Break “All-Time Records” Thanks to Eli Crane and Juan Ciscomani

Arizonans are already paying some of the highest gas prices in the nation at $4.60 per gallon – and now, costs are set to spike even more to “all-time records” thanks to Eli Crane and Juan Ciscomani. 

According to new reporting in KJZZ Phoenix, gas prices could surge to up to $6 a gallon as a result of Crane and Ciscomani greenlighting President Trump’s reckless war of choice that is crushing Arizona families at the pump.

DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Eli Crane and Juan Ciscomani must answer to voters: Do they think that $6 gas is an acceptable cost for Arizona families? Their silence is disqualifying.” 

Read the latest:

  • With no signs of the [Iran] war ending, experts are concerned gas prices will continue to soar.
  • Patrick Deehan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said prices rising could be inevitable if the war drags on for an additional four to six weeks.
  • “We certainly could set new all-time records,” Deehan said. “It really just depends where global demand destruction really starts to occur, which I believe probably would be around the $6 mark in the U.S.” 
  • “It’s going to be a little nerve racking here in the weeks ahead,” Deehan said. “Arizona relies on two areas of the country where refineries have a very distinct, and significant axis to be able to export their product.”
  • Those areas are California and Texas, which has seen an influx in oil and gas export shipments to other countries since access through the Strait was cut off.
  • Arizona has some of the highest gas prices in the country, averaging roughly $4.60 per gallon as of April 22, according to estimates by the AAA.
