NASHVILLE, Tenn., (June 10, 2024) — Gas prices across the state continued to fall over last week, dropping six cents on average. The Tennessee Gas Price average is now $3.02 which is 24 cents less expensive than one month ago and 13 cents less than one year ago.

“Tennessee is now in its fifth week of gas price declines and we’re getting very close to dropping under the $3 per gallon mark. The last time our state gas price average fell below $3 was in February,” said Megan Cooper, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “If crude oil prices hold steady, it’s very likely that we’ll see our gas prices fall again this week.”

National Gas Prices

Gasoline prices took another trip south this week, falling nine cents since last Monday to $3.44. It marks the largest weekly drop of the year.

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand dipped from 9.14 b/d to 8.94 last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks jumped from 228.8 to 230.9 million bbl. Tepid gasoline demand, increasing supply, and falling oil costs will likely lead to falling pump prices.

Today’s national average is $3.44,19 cents less than a month ago and 14 cents less than a year ago.
