Average retail gasoline prices in Chattanooga fell another 5.2 cents in the past week to an average $2.05 per gallon, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 170 gas outlets in Chattanooga.

The online service said Chattanooga prices averaged 37 cents per gallon below the U.S. average in the weekly price survey completed Sunday.

Chattanooga gas prices average $1.20 per gallon less than a year ago.

"The coming week shows nothing guaranteed but uncertainty, as refiners begin finishing maintenance season, boosting production, and beginning to draw down on oil inventories that are setting records," said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst. "This recipe will likely bring the lowest summer gasoline prices since 2010, but the short-term outlook may vary based on region, with West Coast locales seeing falling prices, Rockies and Plains states will see slight increases or stability, with Gulf and East Coast regions seeing mild declines."
