SPOKANE, Wash. — Gas prices are up slightly in Spokane this week, and the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel is expected to increase prices even further.
According to gas surveyor GasBuddy, the average price of gas rose 3.7 cents in Spokane from the previous week. That puts the average price at $3.85 a gallon.
That price is 8 cents lower than last month but 3 cents higher than 2024.
In Idaho, the price of gas rose 1 cent to $3.25 on average.
“With Israel and Iran trading attacks, oil prices have surged to multi-month highs—setting the stage for additional price hikes at gas pumps across the country,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “As long as tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, the risk of further impacts on oil prices remains high. For now, I expect gas prices could rise by 10 to 20 cents, while diesel could climb 15 to 25 cents in the coming days. Motorists should prepare for what will likely be modest price increases—for now—but the situation has the potential to worsen at any moment.”
