Save another hurricane, AAA New Mexico anticipates gas prices will settle into a typical fall pattern and drivers should see savings in the coming weeks. The switchover to cheaper winter-blend gas is happening, according to AAA.
“Gas prices should begin to settle into the typical pattern we see each autumn season,” AAA New Mexico spokesperson Daniel Armbruster said in a news release.
“Prices usually tend to trend lower thanks to the switchover to the cheaper winter-blend fuel.”
