Gas prices continue falling at a rate of a half cent a day, despite increases in the price of oil last week. Crude prices rose more than $3 last week, while the national average dropped 3 cents. Pump prices have fallen 25 out of the past 30 days. The current average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $1.61 in Tennessee.
“Motorists enjoyed the lowest gas prices for the month of January since 2009, largely due to crude oil supply outpacing demand,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group.
In Coffee County this week prices have dropped with Manchester falling to a low of $1.49 and Tullahoma’s low price is $1.52.
