Gas prices fell again this week across Arizona and the nation, but global tensions are hindering steeper drops, AAA says.

The statewide average gas price fell 17 cents in a week to $4.07 per gallon of regular on Friday, while the national average slipped 4 cents to $3.52 per gallon.

Tucson had the state's cheapest gas at an average $3.77 per gallon, down 12 cents for the week.

Scottsdale had the highest average price in the state at $4.30 per gallon.

While demand declined and supplies increased this week, worries over the potential widening of the Israel-Hamas war have kept crude-oil prices in the mid-$80s per barrel, AAA said.
