Gas Prices Rise Slightly in California, Georgia, Chattanooga Amid Stable Oil

Gasoline prices across various U.S. regions have seen minor fluctuations recently, with some areas experiencing slight increases while overall trends remain relatively stable. In Los Angeles and Orange County, prices have risen marginally after previous declines, with averages around $4.47 and $4.42 per gallon respectively, though both remain significantly lower than last year. Georgia's gas prices increased by about a penny, reaching an average near $2.92 per gallon, influenced by steady crude oil prices around $65 a barrel, resulting in modest pump price movements. Indiana reported a slight decrease in gas prices to $3.06 per gallon, remaining well below national averages, while diesel and EV charging prices showed minimal change. Chattanooga saw a 4.4 cent increase in gas prices over the past week, averaging $2.69 per gallon, but prices are still lower than a year ago, with national averages flat or slightly declining due to steady oil prices and easing gasoline demand. Overall, crude oil prices stabilizing near mid-$60s per barrel have kept gas prices relatively steady, with potential for gradual declines unless disrupted by factors such as hurricane activity.
