For the first time since early February, Idaho drivers are seeing a welcome sight at the gas pump – prices that are cheaper than a week ago.
According to AAA, today’s average price for a gallon of regular in the Gem State is $3.88, which is four cents cheaper than a week ago, but 11 cents more than a month ago and 13 cents more than a year ago.
The national average currently sits at $3.65 per gallon, which is about a penny less than a week ago, but six cents more than a month ago and 11 cents more than a year ago.
AAA Idaho public affairs director Matthew Conde said unfortunately, they expect the recent savings to be short-lived.
Conde said in the run-up to Memorial Day, they anticipate strong demand that could easily push gas prices the other direction.
