Why you should care:

Gas prices are expected to spike in Arizona as providers in the state will soon have to switch the summer blend to comply with EPA standards.

An amendment to House Bill 2300 in the Arizona State House, aims to expand the summer blend options from one type to several.

The legislation would increase supply for Arizona providers and thus, lower the price from typical summer averages due to the increased competition.
