Gas Prices continue Downward Trend

AAA forecasted that a record-breaking 36.3 million Americans would take an Independence Day road trip this weekend. Those who did, found the lowest gas prices on July 4th in 11 years.
“Despite the high demand, gas prices declined throughout the holiday weekend making travel even more affordable,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “This year’s summer driving season is likely to set new records for both gasoline demand and vehicle miles traveled. Gasoline demand is currently at an all-time high, which would normally put additional pressure on refineries. However, refineries are increasing output and gasoline supply has more than kept pace with growing demand, which has led to lower gas prices.”
The average price in Tennessee is $2.06 per gallon. The low price in Coffee County is in Tullahoma at $1.89 and in Manchester the low price is $1.91 per gallon.
