Americans paid the lowest gas prices this Labor Day holiday weekend since 2004. The national average of $2.22 is 24 cents less than Labor Day 2015, and $1.24 less than the holiday two years ago.
“Despite the increased gasoline demand from holiday travelers, gas prices actually declined a couple of cents throughout the holiday weekend thanks to lower oil prices,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. He added, “Gas prices in the Fall should get even cheaper, because demand declines asĀ Americans returnĀ to school and work.”
Gas prices in Tennessee are averaging $2.02 per gallon. In Coffee County, the low price in Manchester is $1.88 and in Tullahoma the low price per gallon is $1.95.
