$4.79 per gallon was Arizona's average gasoline price over the past week, up 6 cents, based on GasBuddy's survey of 2,269 stations statewide.
That left Arizona drivers paying 10 cents more than a month ago and $1.54 more than a year earlier, extending the state's sharp annual increase.
$4.48 per gallon was the national average, up 5.1 cents week over week, with U.S. prices 37.3 cents above a month ago and $1.40 above last year.
Arizona pump prices still varied widely across the state, ranging from $4.19 at the low end to $6.49 at the high end.
