Comparing the Prices

When you think back a month ago, things didn’t look so steep. Prices have increased by 4.1 cents per gallon since then, and if we take a glance back a whole year, you’ll see that prices are up by 11.2 cents. It seems like every time we fill up, we’re paying just a little bit more.

Now, not every gas station in Chattanooga is charging the same amount. For those looking for a bit of a deal, the cheapest gas station in town offered gas for just $2.44 per gallon yesterday! On the flip side, if you strayed a little too close to the priciest spot, you’d find yourself paying as much as $2.97 per gallon. That’s a whopping 53 cents difference! It really goes to show, shopping around can save you a few bucks!

Tennessee’s Gas Game

Looking beyond Chattanooga, Tennessee’s gas prices are similarly varied. Yesterday, the lowest price reached $2.39 per gallon, while the highest could set you back a staggering $3.89 per gallon. It’s quite the range, isn’t it? That gives a huge $1.50 difference depending on where you pull in to fill up.

A Glimpse at National Trends

6.5 cents per gallon over the last week and now sits at $3.09 per gallon. When you consider a month’s time, it’s up by 4.5 cents and holds just a slight 1.8 cents increase from a year ago.

Diesel Prices on the Rise

8.1 cents, bringing it to $3.606 per gallon. This increase can be attributed to rising oil prices—last week’s climb was the highest we’ve witnessed since July. Cold weather has also played a role in pushing diesel prices higher due to increased demand for heating oil.
