BOISE – (December 20, 2022) – Falling gas prices will help Idaho families fuel up the family sleigh for a holiday adventure this year. According to AAA, nearly 113 million Americans, including 646,000 Idahoans, will take a trip to see family and friends between December 23 and January 2.
“Thankfully, gas prices have been steadily falling for the past few months, which should make a holiday road trip more manageable and maybe even put another present under the tree,” says AAA Idaho spokesman Matthew Conde. “January has historically been the low point before fuel prices start rising again, so we’re hoping for a lower number in the coming weeks.”
Today, Idaho’s average price for a gallon of regular is $3.62 per gallon, which is 15 cents less than a week ago and 58 cents less than a month ago. Meanwhile, the national average currently sits at $3.12 per gallon, which is 13 cents less than a week ago and 55 cents less than a month ago.
Gas prices have also been falling in neighboring states. Washington’s average price is currently $3.92, Oregon’s average is now $3.82, while Montana’s average price is right at $3.00 per gallon.
