Gas Prices Drop 7.6 Cents In Chattanooga

  • Monday, December 10, 2018
Gasoline prices in Chattanooga have fallen 7.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $1.97 per gallon on Monday, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 170 stations in Chattanooga. This compares with the national average that has fallen 2.7 cents per gallon versus last week to $2.41 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.

Average gasoline prices on Dec.
10 in Chattanooga have ranged widely over the last five years:

$2.10 per gallon in 2017, $1.98 in 2016, $1.72 in 2015, $2.38 in 2014 and $3.14 in 2013. 

Including the change locally during the past week, prices on Monday were 13.0 cents per gallon lower than a year ago and are 41.5 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has dropped 28.0 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 3.8 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.

Areas near Chattanooga and their current gas price climate:
Knoxville- $2.05, down 7.1 cents per gallon from last week's $2.12.
State of Tennessee- $2.14, down 6.2 cents per gallon from last week's $2.20.
Huntsville- $2.13, down 4.7 cents per gallon from last week's $2.17.

"Average gas prices have continued to move lower in most states in the last week as retail prices continue to catch up to the low price of oil. 27 states boast a low price of $2 per gallon or less, and Missouri's statewide average will likely fall under $2 per gallon this week, representing the first state to cross the psychological barrier," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "While the going has been good at most gas pumps, OPEC countries did agree to curb oil production, but the cut was smaller than we had expected, and for a shorter duration than anticipated, resulting in a small upward move in oil, one that may not immediately curb the declines. We appear poised to see the national average drop perhaps at least one more week- and we could close this week with the nation's average in the $2.30s- the lowest in over a year."
