BOISE, ID – After weeks of hovering near the $4 mark, Idaho gas prices are slowly falling.
According to the American Automobile Association, today’s average price for a gallon of regular in Idaho is $3.93, which is three cents less than a week ago and four cents less than a month ago.
Meanwhile, the national average currently sits at $3.54 per gallon, which is the same as a week ago and five cents less than a month ago.
Idaho currently ranks 7th in the country for most expensive fuel behind Washington, which has the nation’s highest average price at $4.96, California ($4.87), Hawaii ($4.69), Oregon ($4.62), Alaska ($4.31), and Nevada ($4.23).
Matthew Conde with AAA-Idaho says while the current news is good, things could change if summer travel demand remains high, crude oil costs rise significantly, or a hurricane makes landfall in the Gulf Coast near a major refinery.
Coeur d’Alene currently has Idaho’s highest average price for a gallon of gas at $4.07, while Idaho Falls has the state’s lowest average price at $3.81. Lewiston’s average price per gallon is currently $3.99.
