BOISE, Idaho — GasBuddy surveys over 216 gas stations in the Boise area, and what they found was that there was a nine cent drop in fuel prices this week. The average gallon of gas in Boise now sits at $3.63 per gallon. That price is 23.6 cents less than a month ago, and sits at 33 cents lower than a year ago.
The cheapest station in Boise was priced at $3.39 per gallon on Sunday, where the most expensive was priced at $3.79 per gallon, a difference of 40 cents.
As for the state, the lowest price Sunday was priced at $2.95 per gallon, and the most expensive was priced at $3.99, a difference of $1.04 per gallon.
Nationally, the average price for a gallon of gas has dropped 10 cents per gallon in the past week, marking a new average of $3.40 per gallon. The national average is down 23 cents from a month ago, and is 18 cents lower than a year ago.
"We've seen one of the larger weekly drops in the national average price of gasoline in some time, and what incredible timing that it comes at the beginning of the summer driving season," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "Not only have gasoline prices plummeted in nearly every state in the last week, but nearly every state has also seen prices drop compared to a month ago. With the declines, Americans will spend roughly $425 million less per week on gasoline than a year ago. In addition, the price of diesel has fallen alongside gasoline to its lowest level since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. This price decline party is ramping up, and I expect additional declines ahead of July 4 for both gasoline and diesel prices. Six states now have average prices below $3 per gallon, and more will join soon, with the number of U.S. stations at $2.99 or lower already nearing 25,000. It's a great start to summer for those hitting the road."
