Gas prices down nine cents per gallon from last week

With Thanksgiving still weeks away, Idaho drivers are already feeling a bit more gratitude when they stop to fill up.

According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of regular in the Gem State is $3.28, which is nine cents less than a week ago, 19 cents less than a month ago, and 56 cents less than a year ago.

Boise-area prices dropped by an average of 12 cents this week.

The national average currently sits at $3.10 per gallon, which is three cents cheaper than a week ago, eight cents less than a month ago, and 33 cents less than a year ago.

Idaho currently ranks 8th in the country for most expensive fuel.

Drivers are saving despite slight uptick in fuel demand and a slight drop in crude oil supplies.
