BOISE, ID – Idaho drivers are paying a little less at the pump this week, with average gas prices dropping another nickel, according to AAA Idaho. As of Monday, the state’s average price for regular gasoline sits at $3.35 per gallon—five cents lower than last week, 14 cents lower than a month ago, but six cents higher than a year ago.
The national average currently stands at $3.04 per gallon, about a penny and a half less than a week ago and 12 cents lower than last month. Idaho now ranks eighth in the nation for most expensive fuel, down from earlier this fall.
Among regional neighbors, Washington continues to lead with the highest average price at $4.29, followed by Nevada at $3.89, Oregon at $3.88, Utah at $3.19, Montana at $3.02, and Wyoming at $2.92.
“Crude oil and gasoline supplies both took a tumble this week, so gas prices could slow their descent or even reverse course a bit this week,” said AAA Idaho Public Affairs Director Matthew Conde. “Hopefully we’ll be able to pocket some more savings in the run-up to the holidays.”
West Texas Intermediate crude oil is trading near $61 per barrel—roughly unchanged from a week or a month ago, but nearly $10 less than the same time last year. The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that national gasoline inventories fell by six million barrels and crude oil by nearly seven million barrels.
