Gas prices up in Idaho

Idaho drivers are experiencing some turbulence at the pump, and the trend may continue this week.

According to AAA, today’s average price for a gallon of regular in the Gem State is $3.63, which is six cents more than a week ago and three cents more than a month ago, but 38 cents cheaper than a year ago.

Meanwhile, the national average currently sits at $3.47 per gallon, which is four cents less than a week ago and a month ago, and 36 cents less than a year ago.

With recent price movements, Idaho is now back in the top ten at 10th place for most expensive fuel in the country.

Prior to this week’s uptick, Gem State gas prices had been steadily falling since mid-April.
