Gas prices in Tennessee are going up due to recent strength in the oil market and rising wholesale gasoline prices. The average price for gasoline in Tennessee is $2.05 per gallon but should rise another 7 to 10 cents this week.
Tennessee motorists are paying 1 cent to almost 20 cents more than a week ago. However, the average price is still 7 cents less than last month, and 35 cents less than this time last year.
The national average price of gasoline is $2.24 per gallon.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the low price per gallon in Coffee County was $1.90, but all stations are expected to be above $2 per gallon by the end of day on Wednesday.
