Living in 2024 means having unlimited access to reliable and interesting data revolving around anything our hearts may desire. Today, in light of the recent news that Montana's gas prices have been steadily dropping, we decided we wanted to take a look at the cities in Montana that are burdened with the highest gas prices.

If you live in the more rural parts of our beautiful state, then you may notice that your town in particular was left out of the discussion. That's only because the closer satellite cities, like what Butte is to a town like Whitehall, usually reflect that area's average gas prices, which more than likely includes your smaller town.

But without further introduction, let's get into the top 10 cities in Montana with the highest gas prices, as of September 2024.

It probably comes at no surprise that the highest gas prices in the state are here in Butte, America, as it is so much more expensive than other cities that it's basically a given at this point that you ask yourself, "Is it worth the drive to Bozeman to fill up on gas?" That may sound stupid, but so is paying an extra $0.12 a gallon.

By the way, why is gas so much more expensive in Butte? No one knows exactly why, but it's probably due to higher transportation costs, fewer competitors, local taxes, and operational expenses that drive up prices compared to other cities. So there you go.
