Drivers continue to feel the pain at the pump amid skyrocketing gas prices, and there’s more trouble on the horizon.
According to AAA, both the Idaho and national average price for regular gasoline are likely to hit the $5 mark as early as this week.
Crude oil market volatility, tight fuel supplies and growing demand continue to push pump prices higher.
Today, Idaho’s average price for regular is $4.90 per gallon, which is 18 cents more than a week ago, 43 cents more than a month ago, and $1.62 more than a year ago.
Meanwhile, the price of gas has already bubbled over 5 dollars a gallon in Boise at some gas stations.
