Prices at the pump continue to rise in Tennessee and moved eight cents more expensive over last week. The Tennessee Gas Price average is now $3.28 which is 20 cents more expensive than one month ago but 10 cents less than one year ago.
“The seasonal switch to summer blend gasoline and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are two of the main factors influencing the market right now,” said Megan Cooper, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “It’s likely that pump prices will remain elevated throughout this week given the uncertainty in the market. Even with the recent increases, today’s Tennessee gas price average is 35 cents lower than the national average of $3.63.”
