The following is a news release from AAA Idaho.
BOISE – As Idaho drivers start gearing up for Black Friday sales, they may find themselves with a bit more spending money.
According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of regular in the Gem State is $3.20, which is eight cents less than a week ago, 25 cents less than a month ago, and 59 cents less than a year ago.
The national average currently stands at $3.08 per gallon, which is two cents less than a week ago, 13 cents less than a month ago, and 30 cents less than a year ago.
Idaho drops to 10th in the country for most expensive fuel behind Hawaii ($4.57), California ($4.52), Washington ($4.02), Nevada ($3.78), Oregon ($3.59), Alaska ($3.55), Pennsylvania ($3.28), District of Columbia ($3.26), and Arizona ($3.21).
“Prices have been in our favor most of the year, and they’re getting even better. Rexburg drivers are saving a shocking 28 cents per gallon from a week ago, nine cents in Idaho Falls, seven cents in Twin Falls, and ten cents in the Treasure Valley,” says AAA Idaho public affairs director Matthew Conde. “As cooler weather chills driving activity, we hope for even more savings this week.”
