National Gas Prices Hit $4; Idaho Fuel Costs Remain High Due to Supply
What happened
The national average gas price reached $4, which is 16 cents less than a week ago and 37 cents less than a month ago, according to AAA Idaho/Oregon. Despite the national drop, Idaho ranks 10th in the nation for the most expensive fuel. The majority of gas and oil for the region comes from Salt Lake City, Utah, with some supplies trucked in from Montana.

Why it matters
Idaho maintains high fuel costs due to limited supply in the remote mountain desert area. The reliance on Salt Lake City, Utah, for the majority of regional gas and oil supply reinforces regional supply chain dependency.
