As the Treasure Valley and Gem State prepare for the influx of tourists for the eclipse coming Monday, it's probably no surprise this will be impacted: Gas prices. They're going up.
With frigid temps across the Treasure Valley, some people are choosing to warm up their vehicles before they have to jump in and head to work. Let's be honest, going from the warm house to your toasty car is much more appealing than shivering until you hit the highway...
