Tennessee’s average shows signs of an increase
Nashville, TN – As we enter the third Monday of the month, Tennessee’s average gas price stands at $2.70 per gallon. While the average has dipped slightly since last Monday, it has risen by two cents since yesterday.
Despite the recent fluctuation, drivers are still paying about 30 cents less per gallon than they were at this time last year.
“Oil prices rose last week due to the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran,” said Stephanie Milani, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “As a result, U.S. gas prices are expected to rise this week. The extent of the increase is uncertain, but drivers could begin seeing gas prices move higher on Monday.”
National Gas Prices
The national average is $3.14, which is two cents higher than last week, a nickel less than a month ago, and 30 cents less than a year ago. State prices range from $2.66 in Louisiana to $4.65 in California.
