It’s been another quiet week at the pumps for Idaho drivers.
According to the American Automobile Association, today’s average price for a gallon of regular in Idaho is $3.48, which is the same as a week ago, six cents more than a month ago, and nine cents less than a year ago.
The national average currently sits at $3.14 per gallon, which is about a penny less than a week ago, five cents less than a month ago, and 36 cents less than a year ago. Idaho remains in 7th place in the U.S. for the most expensive fuel, but the Gem State was one of the 38 states where gas prices fell or remained the same this week.
According to the most recent report by the Energy Information Administration, gasoline demand approached 9 million barrels per day, about 500,000 barrels per day more than the previous week. Fortunately, refineries also increased production, which helped offset the demand.
Of Idaho’s largest cities, Boise has the state’s highest average price for a gallon of regular at $3.51, while Lewiston has the state’s lowest average price at $3.29.
