BOISE, Idaho — Despite crude oil futures dropping by almost $18 a barrel following the announcement of a precarious ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, the price at the pump continues to rise across the Gem State.
AAA is reporting that the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Idaho is now $4.32. That price is 5 cents higher than it was a week ago and $1.09 higher than it was this time last month.
The national average is currently pegged at $4.16/gallon. In terms of states with the most expensive fuel costs, Idaho ranks #9.
“The two-week ceasefire is a signal to the market that crude oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz may flow through the area unhindered for a period of time,” says AAA Idaho public affairs director Matthew Conde. “However, it’s too early to tell if there will be a lasting resolution, and even so, we’re stuck with higher gas prices until crude oil prices are consistently lower.”
