Gas prices across Tennessee are continuing to inch lower as this week marks the third straight week of declines in the state. Gas prices fell nearly nine cents over the course of last week, providing a much needed break at the pump for the Tennesseans that took a road trip over the holiday weekend. The Tennessee Gas Price average is now $4.41 which is nearly eight cents less expensive than one month ago and $1.53 more than one year ago.
“Even though gas prices were at record highs for the Independence Day holiday, Tennessee travelers were able to reap the benefits of a three-week decline in gas prices heading into the holiday weekend, “said Megan Cooper, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “It’s difficult to say how long this trend will continue with an expected busy summer travel season happening alongside a very volatile crude oil market – but at least for now, Tennesseans can enjoy a bit of good news at their local gas pump.”
