AAA: TENN. GAS PRICE AVERAGE FALLS 3 CENTS

NASHVILLE, Tenn., (August 18, 2025) — The Tennessee Gas Price average is now $2.74, three cents less than last week, two cents less than last month and almost 30 cents less than one year ago.
“The Tennessee average has been in the $2.70’s for more than six weeks now with prices fluctuating little week to week,” said Stephanie Milani, spokeswoman for AAA — The Auto Club Group. “As we get closer to autumn, we typically see gas prices hold steady before falling gradually as the year comes to a close.”
National Gas Prices
The summer of lower pump prices continues, as the busy driving season nears its end. Today’s national average is $3.13, the same as last week. As we enter peak hurricane season, storms affecting gas production and distribution are something to keep an eye on. But right now, with crude oil prices remaining steady, there’s no indication gas prices will make any drastic moves.
National Oil Market Dynamics
At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, WTI fell 52 cents to settle at $62.65 a barrel. The EIA reports crude oil inventories increased by 3 million barrels from the previous week. At 426.7 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 6% below the five-year average for this time of year.
