Tennessee’s state average gas price is $2.46 per gallon for regular unleaded, which is five cents more than last week’s average, but still two cents less than one month ago and 15 cents less than one year ago.
Today’s national average is $2.75, which is four cents more than last week, about the same as a month ago, but 11 cents less than one year ago.
According to Stephanie Milani with AAA, “The majority of motorists can expect more expensive gas prices throughout July, but the national average is still not likely to hit $3/gallon. In addition to rising gasoline demand, 13 states this month have introduced new gas taxes that have contributed to the national average increase.’
