The myMotherLode.com gas price section shows that regular unleaded is currently selling between $3.45 to $3.61 in Sonora.
The Associated Press reports that many analysts believe the price is going up because Iran continues to threaten the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil shipments.
