Kootenai County gas prices dip under $3
COEUR d'ALENE — Gas prices in Kootenai County dipped below $3 a gallon at some filling stations, but could begin climbing soon.
“On the AAA gas prices heat map, Idaho is in the blue for the first time that I can remember. The entire Rockies region is benefiting from abundant gasoline stocks that have been roughly 20% higher than a year ago, in recent weeks,” said Matthew Conde, AAA Idaho spokesman. “But with the national average on the rise this week and a miniscule drop in the state average, we may see Gem State pump prices change course in the near future.”
According to AAA, Idaho gas prices are at their lowest level in nearly three years. The average price for a gallon of regular was $2.89, a third of a penny less than a week ago, but 25 cents cheaper than a month ago and 70 cents less than a year ago.
