Chatom Residents Adapted to High Gas Prices in 2008

James Bullard, June 1, 2008

Historical report preserved from an archived 2008 WKRG story.

Rising gasoline prices were changing routines for residents of Chatom in Washington County in 2008, according to an archived WKRG report.

One resident who lived 13 miles outside town said she combined shopping, work and other errands into a single trip whenever she came to Chatom in order to adapt to the economy.

The report compared gasoline prices across the Gulf Coast, listing prices of $3.92 in Pensacola, $3.89 in Mobile and $3.87 in Biloxi.

This article records fuel-price pressures reported in 2008 and is not a statement of current gasoline prices.
