AAA– After two consecutive weeks of gas price declines across the state, pump prices saw varying amounts of fluctuation over the course of last week. We are starting this week only a penny more expensive than last week, on average. The Tennessee Gas Price average is now $3.10 which is nearly two cents less expensive than one month ago and nearly 19 cents more than one year ago.

“Fluctuations in crude oil pricing brought our trend of declining gas prices here in Tennessee to an end last week. Crude oil prices have proven to be volatile in recent weeks, however, we may only see moderate price increases in the short term given recent increases in domestic gasoline stocks alongside a slight drop in demand,” said Megan Cooper, spokeswoman, AAA

Today’s national average of $3.41 is two cents more than a month ago, but 12 cents less than a year ago.

As of today, February 22, average gas prices for:

• Cumberland County- $2.98
• Morgan County- $3.06
• Roane County- $3.06
• Rhea County- $3.02
• Fentress County- $3.06
