Gas Prices Fall Across South Carolina, Tennessee, Chattanooga

Gas prices have continued to decline across the United States, with notable drops in states like South Carolina, Tennessee, and cities such as Chattanooga and Nashville, according to GasBuddy data. The average price in South Carolina fell to $2.67 per gallon, and in Chattanooga and Nashville, prices reached $2.53 and $2.68 respectively, with the national average settling at $3.10 per gallon. These prices are significantly lower than a year ago, with year-over-year decreases ranging from about 54 to 59 cents per gallon in several regions. Experts attribute the relative stability and declines to OPEC’s ongoing restoration of oil production and uncertainty over tariff policies, though recent oil price rallies may soon stall further decreases. Diesel prices have also dropped, now averaging $3.519 per gallon nationally. Despite potential fluctuations ahead, Americans are spending over $200 million less per day on gasoline compared to this time last year.
