“Normally, I’d never drive out of my way to buy cheap gas because you pretty much burn what you save just to get there,” posts Staci Lehman/Kootenai MPO. “It’s only about 5 minutes out of my way to go to the gas station at Stateline though, where they were selling gas for $2.29 a gallon. That’s right folks! It’s a Monday Night Football promotion so don’t think you can go there and get that price today. But you could try next Monday.”
Question: Would you be willing to drive to Stateline for some $2.29-per-gallon gas as part of a “Monday Night Football” promotion? Or are you happy with the $2.39 gas in Coeur d’Alene? Do you find yourself driving more now that the price has gone down so low again?

Take your dog along and enjoy the wonderful off-leash park just down the road. Nice dogs and nice people there.

This must be old news already, I noticed about 3 places around town today for $2.29.
What I really wonder is when it will get back under 2 bucks a gallon…?

Why drive all that way when the Exxon at the 4th St. I-90 exit has the same price? They usually match Costco’s price, so Costco is probably 2.29 or 2.28 too.

I gassed up at Costco today for $2.26.

The only bad thing about living in the toolies is that my gas up here in Bonners is 2.59 per gallon.
