These 3 cities have gas for less than $4 per gallon, the cheapest on the Mississippi Coast
Drivers can now find gas at several stations across the Mississippi Coast for less than $4 per gallon, just weeks after the state recorded it’s highest average price per gallon in history.
In Gulfport, multiple standalone gas stations — as well as stations outside of Walmart and Sam’s Club — were offering fuel ranging from $3.90 to $3.99 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.
Across the state, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas was $4.31 on Sunday, according to AAA. The only other state in the U.S. with gas cheaper than Mississippi on the July 4 holiday was South Carolina, with an average gallon costing $4.30.
The highest average price per gallon in Mississippi history was $4.52 on June 12.
The cost of gas in Mississippi now is the cheapest it’s been in a month, but prices last year were a fraction of what they are now, according to AAA. On July 4, 2021, the average price for a gallon of gas in the state was $2.75.
The cheapest gas on the Coast is in Jackson County, where the average cost is $4.24. In Harrison County, it’s $4.27. Hancock County has the most expensive gas on the Coast at $4.34.
The two cities where the cheapest gas was recorded on Monday were Gulfport and Pascagoula. Moss Point also has one station where gas is less than $4 per gallon.
Service stations in Biloxi, Bay St. Louis, Long Beach, Ocean Springs and other Coast cities were still recording prices over $4 per gallon on Monday, GasBuddy data shows.
