Areas nearby Chattanooga and their current gas price climate:
Knoxville- $2.12, up 7.6 cents per gallon from last week's $2.04.
State of Tennessee- $2.11, up 6.9 cents per gallon from last week's $2.05.
Huntsville- $2.07, up 3.7 cents per gallon from last week's $2.03.

"With crude oil prices rallying over the past 6 weeks, reaching the highest point that we've seen since November ($48.50/ barrel) before Friday's close, we should expect wholesale and retail gasoline prices to rise further," said Gregg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.

"The good news for consumers is that even with the recent increases in the price at the pump, on average we're still paying about 45 cents less per gallon this year versus last.  And in California the state average is $1 less than last year... that should please anyone with travel plans this summer!"
