Montana Gas Prices Keep Crashing, Will Reach Major Milestone Early This Week
Any hour now, Montana’s gas prices are expected to drop low enough to push the statewide average below two dollars a gallon.
"It was a big week for motorists," said gasbuddy.com Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Prices fell a whopping 16 cents a gallon all the way from $2.19 per gallon a week ago to $2.03 today and prices have continued to fall. Montana now the 23rd cheapest state in the country at $2.03. Montana is likely here in the next 24 hours, along with four other [states], to join the sub-two dollar a gallon club."
Great Falls has the lowest prices in the state, but all prices are expected to keep falling this week.
"Some of the cheapest prices in the state now, you have $1.90 in Great Falls, $1.93 in Billings, Missoula $1.95, Helena $1.96, Bozeman $1.96," DeHaan said. "Oil prices took another walloping today down about five percent to $46 a barrel, that's going to open up the door to even more decreases here in the week ahead."
The extremely fast drop in gas prices this winter is dramatically different than what happened last year when the price per gallon was nearly a full dollar more expensive.
