Average gasoline prices in Tennessee have risen 9.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.30/g today, according to GasBuddy’s survey of 3,821 stations in Tennessee. Prices in Tennessee are 15.2 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 56.9 cents per gallon lower than a year ago.
The national average price of diesel has fallen 1.6 cents in the last week and stands at $4.15 per gallon.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Tennessee was priced at $2.76/g yesterday while the most expensive was $3.99/g, a difference of $1.23/g.
The national average price of gasoline has risen 8.8 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.57/g today.
The national average is up 13.0 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 52.6 cents per gallon lower than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.
“The national average price of gasoline has continued its relatively slow climb, with 44 states seeing average gasoline prices climb over the last week. Prices are being pulled up not only due to continued increases in demand as temperatures warm, but also pressure from oil prices, which have risen over 20% in the last month, primarily driven by OPEC’s surprise decision a week ago to cut oil production,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
