After a month of steadily rising gasoline prices, Chattanooga motorists are getting some relief at the pump.
The average retail prices of gas sold in Chattanooga fell by 4.6 cents per gallon in the past week to an average of $1.90 per gallon, according to GasBuddy’s daily survey of 170 gas outlets in Chattanooga.
The drop in local gas prices contrasts with an average increase of 2.1 cents per gallon in the average price of gas nationwide.
Surveys by Gasbuddy.com show Chattanooga gas prices are 16 cents per gallon below the U.S. average and 12.4 cents per gallon less than the same time a year ago.
“The end of March last week capped a 30.5 cents-per-gallon jump in the national retail gasoline price average for the month,” said Will Speer, GasBuddy senior petroleum analyst. “As prices now sit at the highest since November 2015, April brings the final phase of the transition to the more expensive summer-blend gasoline.”
