Idaho drivers will pay the most to fill up their tank on Labor Day weekend in seven years, but according to AAA, that won’t prevent most people from getting in one last trip to end the summer.
As of Thursday, the average price in the Gem State for a gallon of regular was $3.80, the same as a week ago and a penny less than a month ago. Meanwhile, the U.S. average currently sits at $3.18, which is four cents more than a week ago and a penny more than a month ago. Recent price movement in the national average is primarily due to Hurricane Ida, but the impact has been primarily felt in the path of the storm.
With the short holiday weekend, cooler weather, and school obligations, many Idahoans will travel by car and stay closer to home. AAA projects that the busiest times on the roads will be Thursday afternoon, Friday morning, and Monday afternoon.
