Gas prices tumble nationwide, but not in Idaho…

Gas prices across the nation have just posted their biggest one-week decline since 2008, AAA Idaho reports, but Idaho hasn’t yet felt it. In the Gem State, gas prices are averaging $3.82 a gallon, 19 cents higher than the U.S. average and down just a penny in the last week. The national average dropped 13 cents in the last week to $3.63 a gallon.

AAA predicts that national average gas prices will fall to between $3.40 and $3.65 by Election Day - just two weeks away - and down to $3.25 to $3.40 by Thanksgiving. But in Idaho? “We don’t know,” said Dave Carlson, director of public and government affairs. “I would think it’s safe to say that we should see some decline in prices.” You can read AAA’s full news release here .
