The American Automobile Association says a slight dip in gasoline demand and crude oil prices led to a modest decrease at the pumps this week, but one that drivers aren’t likely to notice.
According to AAA, the price of crude oil briefly dropped below $95 per barrel last week but is now trading near $110 per barrel. Experts say if the pattern of higher crude prices continues, pump prices will likely follow.
Today, Idaho’s average price for regular is $4.35 per gallon, which is a penny less than a week ago and 83 cents more than a month ago. Meanwhile, the national average currently sits at $4.25, which is eight cents less than a week ago and 72 cents more than a month ago.
Motorists in Boise and Twin Falls are paying the highest average price for gas at $4.44 per gallon. Lewiston’s average price is currently $4.11 per gallon.
