The average cost of gas in Twin Falls has risen to $3.37 per gallon, according to the AAA of Idaho. The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Idaho is $3.42, the same as a week ago and 17 cents less than a year ago.
The national average stands at $3.14 per gallon, which is about four cents less than a week ago. Still though, it is 37 cents cheaper than a year ago.
“Crude oil prices dipped after a strong spike during the recent conflicts in the Middle East, and gasoline demand has been steady. It’s possible that the surge in road trips was offset by others who hunkered down and celebrated closer to home,” says AAA Idaho public affairs director Matthew Conde. “While pump prices aren’t exactly low, they’re better than a year ago.”
