Where Does Idaho Rank Nationally?

The Gem State returns to the top ten most expensive states to buy gasoline. Today, Idaho ranks 7th in the country for most expensive fuel behind California ($6.09), Hawaii ($5.62), Alaska ($5.48), Nevada ($5.40), Oregon ($5.40), and Washington ($5.36). The least expensive gas in the country can be found in Kentucky at $4.31 per gallon.

“Crude oil prices are currently hovering near $104 per barrel after reaching a recent high of $122 per barrel in early June. As the main ingredient in gasoline, lower crude prices help ease the pressure on gas prices,” says AAA Idaho public affairs director Matthew Conde. “The Rockies region is generally one of the last to react to national gas price trends, good or bad. We’re just beginning to see some savings at the pump in our area, and hopefully the trend will continue.”

Will the November Election Bring Lower Gas Prices?

Political experts predict that the Democrats are in trouble due to the economy, inflation, and gas prices. Republicans could make significant gains in the House and Senate if current economic trends continue. Multiple polls state that the economy and fuel prices are the number one issue for voters. If the administration can find a way to lower oil prices by November, it can only help their dismal chances.
