There were three gas stations in cities across Scott County selling regular gas at the lowest price of $3.55 per gallon in the week ending Mar. 14, according to customer reports submitted to GasBuddy.

Regular gas prices averaged $3.56 per gallon in Scott County.

All of the four reported gas stations located in cities within Scott County offered regular gas.

Statewide, regular gas averaged $3.67 per gallon for the week ending Mar. 14, up from the previous week.

U.S. gas prices continue to decline after reaching their lowest level since 2021, according to GasBuddy. The group projects the national average could dip below $2.80 per gallon during the holiday period, driven by increased oil production and lower seasonal demand.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration expects global oil stockpiles to keep growing into 2026, a trend that could weigh on crude prices in the near term. Brent crude is projected to average about $55 per barrel in early 2026 and remain near that level for the rest of the year. The agency notes that production decisions by OPEC+ and continued inventory building in China could limit how far prices fall.

Gas price data reflects cash payments. Some stations may charge higher prices for credit card transactions due to processing fees, though such surcharges are prohibited in some states and territories.

Data is accurate as of press time, but gas prices have been known to fluctuate on a daily, and even hourly, basis.
