Gas Prices continue to Rise

Although Tennessee gas prices increased almost a dime from last week, the state average remains low compared to the rest of the country. Tennessee drivers are paying an average price of $2.44 per gallon for regular unleaded. Monday’s state average was 9-cents more than a week ago, 25 cents more than this time last month, and 3 cents higher than this time last year.
The national average of $2.62.
AAA spokesperson Jeanette Casselano said the state gas price average is very similar to a year ago, give or take a few pennies. This means some motorists are paying among the most expensive averages seen this time of year in the last five years.
