Tennessee state average gas price is $2.35 per gallon for regular unleaded, which is seven cents less than a week ago, 20 cents less than one month ago and 19 cents less than one year ago.
Today’s national average is $2.68, which is six cents cheaper than last week, 17 cents less than last month and 20 cents less than the same time last year.
Stephanie Milani, Tennessee Public Affairs Director, AAA – The Auto Club Group commetted, “The national average dropped six cents last week, following a consistent downward trend since Memorial Day, The decline is unusual for this time of year. Typically, increased demand puts strain on supply and the imbalance pushes pump prices higher. This year however, gasoline stocks have remained consistent thanks to strong domestic outputs and healthy imports, which help push pump prices lower.”
