Gas prices in AZ depend on where the gas is piped from. For Phx area gas comes from California (it can be .30-70 cents per gallon more vs TX.)
Gas for Tucson area is piped in from Texas (it costs less)
Also areas outside of Tucson and Phx don't require the winter summer blend fuel required by the EPA Air Quality people ,
that saves $.20-35 cents per gallon,
Phoenix has pipelines from El Paso and California. Maricopa requires CBG blended gasoline which is more expensive than regular unleaded that is used outside Maricopa County. I had a fuel shipping business before I retired, and shipped fuel for various refiners in Texas on Kinder Morgan's East pipeline from El Paso to Phoenix

Many places in NE Phx are $4.19. My daughter bought gas in N. Tucson for $3.59.
The gas station at the border in Lukeville was still $3.99 today.

What? The value of the US monopoly money is dropping? I wounder why.
In 2022, the country's economic growth was favorable. The year’s second quarter was the best-performing quarter, with a growth of 1.2% and cumulative GDP growth of 3%. Mexico’s economic activity recovered to significant levels, mainly because tourism increased by 45% compared to 2021. In addition, exports from the automotive sector and remittances also grew.
The peso’s appreciation is also due to external factors such as the US Federal Reserve and the strengthening of oil prices, which has allowed several emerging countries to report significant gains. "The Mexican peso registered an annual appreciation of 7.7% as of January 10, which placed it in the second position of currencies with the largest gains since December 2021," said Rogelio Ramírez de la O, Mexico’s Minister of Finance.


Those trump tax give aways to the rich is my first guess but blame Biden helping kids get free lunches if it keeps your cognitive dissonance in check .

My takeaway on gas prices in Sonoyta- ask what their peso/ dollar exchange rate is vs. the bank's rate. Often it's much more favorable.
