Idaho falls out of top 10 most expensive states for fuel as prices continue to decline

According to AAA, an average gallon of regular gas in Kootenai County is $3.51 which is slightly above the national average of $3.45.

KOOTENAI COUNTY, Idaho — Idaho drivers have more good news at the pump this week. According to AAA, Tuesday’s average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the Gem State is $3.57, which was 6 cents less than a week ago, 25 cents less than a month ago, and 40 cents less than a year ago. 

Meanwhile, the national average sits at $3.45 per gallon, which is the same as a week ago, 15 cents cheaper than a month ago, and 13 cents less than a year ago. Idaho has fallen out of the top 10, now ranking 13th in the country for most expensive fuel, a press release said.

Kootenai County gas prices have fallen into the $3.20s at some stations.

“Despite robust travel to kick off the spring and summer driving season, pump prices continue to plummet,” said AAA Idaho public affairs director Matthew Conde. “Montana and Utah, which supply most of Idaho’s gasoline, are currently ranked 23rd and 24th in the nation for gas prices, which means that even more savings could be headed our way this week.”
