AAA: Gas prices slowly sliding toward seasonal savings; Idaho 8th highest

aaa

National average gas prices have started the slow march toward anticipated seasonal lows, and Idaho prices are beginning to follow suit.

According to the American Automobile Association, U.S. prices have fallen for 15 of the last 20 days for a total savings of seven cents per gallon.

Meanwhile, Idaho prices have dropped six cents per gallon.

While the savings are starting to help motorists’ pocketbooks, AAA-Idaho’s Matthew Conde says Gem State drivers are still paying the 8th highest gas prices in the nation.

 

Today, the U.S. average price is $2.45 per gallon, which is one cent less than a week ago and twelve cents less than a month ago, but 23 cents more than a year ago.

Idaho’s current price is $2.69, which is two cents less than a week ago, eight cents less than a month ago, and 24 cents more than a year ago.

 

Washington’s average price for gas is currently $2.91 a gallon; Oregon $2.75; and Montana $2.59.
