Montana is known for wide open spaces and long distances to travel, so it would make sense why our fuel consumption didn't go down as much as elsewhere. We also have industries that depend on fuel to run.
Tim from Savage, Montana says he travelled from Jackson Hole, Wyoming to Helena, Montana. He says gas in Jackson Hole was $5.79 a gallon. Gas was $4.99 a gallon through Idaho on his way up to Helena on Sunday. Yikes.
