  • Monday, November 6, 2017
Average retail gasoline prices in Chattanooga have risen 3.7 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.14 per gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 170 gas outlets in Chattanooga. This compares with the national average that has increased 6.5 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.53 per gallon, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

According to GasBuddy historical data, gasoline prices on Nov. 6, in Chattanooga have ranged widely over the last five years:
$1.97 per gallon in 2016, $1.95 in 2015, $2.61 in 2014, $3.04 in 2013 and $3.21 in 2012.

Areas near Chattanooga and their current gas price climate:
Knoxville- $2.28, up 12.3 cents per gallon from last week's $2.16.
State of Tennessee- $2.26, up 2.9 cents per gallon from last week's $2.23.
Huntsville- $2.20, flat from last week's $2.20.

"It's been a frenzied week at fuel pumps across the country, but without a hurricane driving up prices, many motorists have been dumbfounded about what's taking place with the unseasonable upward trend," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "Such a strong weekly upward move is rare in the fall, but is explained by a confluence of factors, including oil prices hitting a new 2017 high, a major pipeline leak resulting in disruption, autumn refinery maintenance, but perhaps among the more surprising- robust demand for gasoline so late in the season. Such demand has magnified relatively mundane factors into a major gas price event for much of the United States and Canada. But some slowdown is expected in the Great Lakes, the region hardest hit with price spikes in the last week, as repairs Explorer Pipeline have been completed, but some additional bumps in the road ahead can be expected for motorists elsewhere."
