Gas prices are declining as we approach the most traveled Independence Day holiday weekend since 2007. Of the 41.9 million total travelers, 35.5 million Americans will take a road trip; the highest number of auto travelers on record (which dates back to 2000).
“Lower gas prices are added incentive for travelers to pack-up the family vehicle and hit the road this Independence Day,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group.
Tennessee’s state average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline ($2.55) is 3 cents cheaper than last week; 90 cents lower than the price on July 4, 2014. The low price in Manchester this week is $2.35 per gallon and in Tullahoma it’s $2.41.
