How gas prices have changed in Idaho in the last week
A refinery outage in Illinois is still causing higher gasoline prices in the Midwest while the rest of the country enjoys prices that have more or less plateaued for the last month. Prices have risen the most in the last week in states including Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana.
But prices remain lower, overall, compared to a year ago by nearly 20 cents.
"Oil prices have fallen quite a bit lately," AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said in a statement Thursday. "In April, a barrel of oil was in the upper $80s, but today, it is $10 a barrel cheaper. That might mitigate any upward pressure on pump prices."
