Gas prices stabilize over past week; Coffee County prices below state average
Gas prices across Tennessee continue to stabilize, decreasing a penny, on average, over last week. The Tennessee Gas Price average s now $3.15 which is nearly 15 cents more expensive than one month ago and $1.29 more than one year ago.
The average price in Coffee County is hovering around $3.12, which is 3 cents below the state average and 30 cents below the national average, which is currently $3.42.
“Not everybody loves changing their household clocks for the end of Daylight Saving Time,” said Megan Cooper, spokeswoman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “But shorter days could lead to lower demand for gas. Drivers may head straight home from work to avoid the darkness rather than tack on side trips for shopping or errands.”
Quick Facts
· 13% of Tennessee gas stations have prices below $3.00
· The lowest 10% of pump prices are $2.95 for regular unleaded
· The highest 10% of pump prices are $3.39 for regular unleaded
· Tennessee moved to the 9th least expensive market in the nation
National Gas Prices
The price at the pump continued its slow climb, rising two cents on the week, with the national average for a gallon of gas hitting $3.42. For consumers, gasoline prices last hit this mark in September 2014, when “The Maze Runner” ruled the box office and Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” topped the pop charts. The latest decision by OPEC and its oil-producing allies to maintain their planned gradual increase in output will not help lessen supply constraints, so any relief will most likely have to come from the demand side.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), total domestic gasoline stocks decreased by 1.5 million bbl to 214.2 million bbl last week. However, gasoline demand rose from 9.32 million b/d to 9.5 million b/d. The slight increase in demand has contributed to price increases, while elevated crude prices continue to put upward market pressure on pump prices.
Today’s national average of $3.42 is 16 cents more than a month ago, $1.31 more than a year ago, and 80 cents more than in 2019.
National Oil Market Dynamics
At the close of Friday’s formal trading session, WTI increased by $2.46 to settle at $81.27. Although crude prices gained for the day due to a weakening dollar, crude prices mostly declined last week after EIA reported that total domestic crude supply increased by 3.3 million bbl to 434.1 million bbl last week. However, according to EIA’s data, the current storage level is approximately 10.4 percent lower than the same time the previous year. A tighter oil supply has helped to keep crude prices above $80 per barrel. This week, crude prices could decline again if EIA’s next weekly report shows another increase in total domestic supply.

Get her what she really wants for Christmas: BOTOX
By Carla Trail, Nurse Practitioner
Botox.
It used to be taboo to talk about. That couldn’t be further from the truth in today’s world. Women, and men, proudly show off their Botox and cosmetic enhancements and I am glad to help you with that at Fast Pace Dermatology in Coffee and Warren counties.
There are so many different options when it comes to cosmetic enhancements and I’ve learned how to administer all of these over the years. Whether it’s Botox, Fillers or Microneedling, I will handle it and send you off pleased with your new look. I know there are options out there for these procedures, but I’m here to reassure that I’ve been doing this for longer than just about anyone in Coffee County.
One of the new options we have that I want everyone to know about is our laser hair removal options. We can also do skin resurfacing and spider-vein removal with that, too!
Of course all of these services are good any time – but since we are at the holidays, I must mention that these make GREAT Christmas gifts! It’s incredible what technology has done for our ability to keep that younger look – and I’m here to help with all of it at Fast Pace Dermatology. Who doesn’t want to be given the gift of younger-looking skin or Christmas?
Obviously, these procedures are not paid by insurance because they are optional. But we are often having sales and specials that you can take advantage of. Go ahead and call any of our offices such as McMinnville (931-259-4144) or Tullahoma (931-563-5469) and they can make appointments for you, or you can make one online at fastpacehealth.com
I look forward to seeing you!
