BOISE, Idaho — According to AAA, Idahoans are seeing a seven cent dip in prices, bringing Idaho's average gallon to the same price as the national average.
Now sitting at $3.07 per gallon, gas prices in Idaho are about 35 cents less than a month ago, and 31 cents less than a year ago. As for the national average, the price is two cents less than a week ago, six cents cheaper than a month ago, and 20 cents less than a year ago.
Idaho ranks 17th in the nation for most expensive fuel and is on track to possibly hit the under $3 mark next week. Idaho may join 29 other states with their under $3 fuel price.
"On the national level, price drops have really slowed down, but thankfully, Idaho drivers are still seeing meaningful savings at this point," AAA Idaho public affairs director Matthew Conde said. "If crude prices rise or gasoline demand starts to build, we could see the opposite effect. But for now, freezing weather will likely keep demand in check across the Gem State, which will hopefully translate to additional relief at the pump."
AAA reminds drivers to have a full tank of gas in your, in case of a winter weather emergency.
