Why is gas so expensive in Idaho?

I’m in Idaho for a few weeks visiting family. I drove by a gas station earlier, and my jaw nearly hit the floor. Why are gas prices so high here?

Gas prices are high across the country, but some states have been hit with higher increases. Here’s why gas is so expensive in
Idaho
:
  • Crude oil prices
  • Fuel supply and demand
  • Refining costs
  • Idaho’s distribution system
  • Summer fuel demand
While prices may not be as high as states like
California
and
Nevada
, the average price for regular unleaded gas in Idaho is $5.216 per gallon. Diesel is $5.878 per gallon.
