Gas prices rise slightly for Ohio drivers as autumn begins

However, gas prices are still a full dollar lower than the same week past year, and nearly half a dollar lower than last month.

The average price of gas in Delaware has dropped $0.04 over the past week to an average price of $2.18 per gallon, according to data from AAA Mid-Atlantic. But Chattanooga gas prices, which have remained well below the USA average, rose by one of the biggest weekly amounts since the start of 2015.

Motorists continue to see sharply lower prices at the pumps in New Jersey.

The cheapest gas in Rutherford County was $1.579 Monday morning at the Kroger Fuel Center at 2449 Old Fort Pkwy.in Murfreesboro.

She says she expects prices could drop another few cents due to ample gasoline supplies and strong consumer demand. “Price declines could stall over the next month, but should continue creeping lower through the end of the year”, Jenkins said.

Gas prices broke a 37 day streak nationally this week. It was $3.34 a year ago.

The best prices locally are found in Modesto where drivers are paying $2.65 per gallon, down from $2.71 one week ago. Accounting for the typical disparity between national and Pittsburgh prices, that could mean gallon prices here of roughly $2.15 to $2.20.
