BOISE, Idaho — Gasoline prices haven’t fluctuated much over the past week, GasBuddy reports. In the Boise area, gas is down just 0.4 cents in the past week.
According to GasBuddy, the average price of a gallon of gas in Boise will now cost you $2.94 per gallon, down 19.8 cents from a month ago and down 0.4 cents from a year ago.
GasBuddy also reports that diesel prices are up 4.4 cents.

Across the Gem State, the lowest-priced station was $2.73 a gallon, while the most expensive station was $3.59 a gallon, a difference of 86 cents.
Nationally, the average price of a gallon of gas fell 0.9 cents in the past week, hitting a new average price of $3.08 a gallon. That price is up 6.5 cents from a month ago and down 1.8 cents from a year ago.
“Oil prices have fallen over the past week following President Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum, where he called on Saudi Arabia to reduce oil prices by restoring production. “The drop in oil has stabilized gas prices for now, with crude now more than $5 a barrel below the level it was a few weeks ago,” said Patrick De Haan, head of oil analysis at GasBuddy.
“As we approach the Feb. 1 deadline for potential U.S. tariffs on Canada and Mexico — key sources of crude oil imports — we will be watching for any potential impact, including the possibility of retaliatory tariffs.” For now, I remain hopeful that the tariffs won’t materialize and gas prices may remain relatively stable for the next few weeks, at least until the seasonal price hike kicks in in mid-to-late February,” he said.
