Finding cheap gas in Hattiesburg (39402)
West Hattiesburg is the city's growth side, the Oak Grove direction where new subdivisions and the retail around Turtle Creek Mall have spread out along US-98 (Hardy Street). The shopping pull on this corridor keeps a heavy flow of cars circulating right where the fuel competition concentrates.
US-98 carries most of the through traffic toward the I-59 ramps, and the stations bunched near the mall and the major Hardy Street crossings see the most volume. With pumps sitting close together along this run, one operator dropping a few cents tends to pull the neighbors down too.
Mississippi keeps one of the lowest state gas taxes in the country, so Hattiesburg prices generally sit near the bottom of the national range. The University of Southern Mississippi and the hospitals on the east side add weekday demand, but this western corridor stays competitive. Checking the cluster of stations around Turtle Creek and Oak Grove Road is usually enough to land a genuinely cheap fill on this side of town.

How to save more on gas in Hattiesburg
1. Use warehouse clubs
Costco and Sam’s Club typically price 15-25 cents per gallon below nearby stations. Membership pays for itself within a few fill-ups.
2. Fill up early in the week
Stations often raise prices Thursday for weekend demand. Fill up Monday through Wednesday to avoid the lift.
3. Keep tires properly inflated
Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy by up to 3 percent at current prices. Check pressure once a month.
4. Check back tomorrow
Prices can shift 10-20 cents overnight during volatile markets. A quick check before you leave home avoids paying yesterday’s spike.

About gas prices in Mississippi
Mississippi has one of the lowest state gas taxes in the country at roughly 18 cents per gallon and draws fuel directly from Gulf Coast refineries in Louisiana plus the Chevron Pascagoula refinery on the Mississippi coast. Jackson, Gulfport, and Hattiesburg all post pump prices among the lowest in the nation. Murphy USA at Walmart locations leads on value across smaller cities, with Sam's Club and Costco dominant in Jackson, Gulfport, and Hattiesburg metros. Buc-ee's has expanded into Mississippi and pulls aggressive low pricing at its locations. Coastal Mississippi occasionally sees hurricane-related price spikes when Gulf refining capacity is disrupted, but recovery is typically faster than Texas or Louisiana.
