AAA says Tennessee Gas Prices Drop, Higher Prices are ComingEnergy prices increase as refineries conduct maintenance
Historically, maintenance season has caused gas prices to jump 15-75 cents from February to June. Last year, pump prices only rose 15 cents during that time, because oil prices struggled to maintain strength. When gasoline jumped 60-70 cents in 2015 and ’16, oil had risen $15.00-$20.00 per barrel. “Energy prices are rising again, which should signal the end for the steady slump at the pump,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Wholesale gasoline prices jumped last week, amid reports that refinery activity along the gulf coast is slowing down. This will make it more expensive for retailers to purchase gasoline, and that added expense will eventually be passed along to the consumer. Based on movements in the market last week, the short-term increase could amount to only a few cents, but motorists should expect a minimum total increase of 20-30 cents this spring,” Jenkins stated. Tennessee Gas Prices Drop 10 Cents in 19 DaysGas prices for the month of February are their highest in four years. Tennessee gas prices declined during the past 19 consecutive days, for a total discount of 10 cents. The state average of $2.31 is 3 cents less than a week ago and 7 cents less than last month. However, motorists are paying 24 cents per gallon more than this time last year – the difference of $4.00 for an average-sized tank of gasoline.
Futures and Wholesale Prices Rise
Crude oil prices regained strength last week after protests caused a large Libyan oil field shut down, and a bullish report was released from the Energy Information Administration. According to the weekly report, domestic oil production hung steady, while oil inventories declined a half percent. Gas Price Tools for Reporters/Consumers
