Motorists continue enjoying the lowest gas prices in four years. The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded dropped for the 52nd consecutive day on Sunday, falling 45 cents since September 26th. During that same period, gas prices fell 45 cents in Tennessee. The streak of declines is 44 days in Tennessee.
“Gas prices are plunging in-line with the falling price of oil, declining demand, and pumps selling winter-blend fuel which is cheaper to produce,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group.
The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded averaged $3.49 a gallon in 2013, and has averaged $3.45 a gallon so far this year.
The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded ($2.89) is 4 cents cheaper than last week, 27 cents cheaper than a month ago and 32 cents below the price this time last year.
