Gas Prices Drop 2.2 Cents In Chattanooga

  • Monday, April 6, 2015
Average retail gasoline prices in Chattanooga have fallen 2.2 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $2.02 per gallon on Sunday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 170 gas outlets in Chattanooga. This compares with the national average that has fallen 3.0 cents per gallon in the last week to $2.39 per gallon, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Chattanooga during the past week, prices Sunday were 134.3 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 12.7 cents per gallon lower than a month ago.
The national average has decreased 7.3 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 118.5 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

"Motorists have seen a quiet week at the pump with gasoline prices in much of the country in gentle decline," said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst. "The current downward trend in the national average bucks what we were seeing a year ago when gasoline prices were in an upward trend, and what we're seeing with prices remaining relatively low should boost motorist confidence as the summer driving season nears. It's a good time to reiterate that I expect this summer's gasoline prices to be at their lowest seasonal levels since 2010, and most areas will see prices at least $1 per gallon under where they were last summer."

According to Mr. DeHaan, some gas price increases may begin showing up in the Northeast where summer blends and reformulated gasolines are beginning to hit retail outlets, though the pain there may not be as bad as what was expected last week. Mr. DeHaan said that thanks to optimism surrounding the Iran nuclear deal, oil prices declined late last week and took some bite out of the expected jump.
