Gas prices
Tennesseans are finding the most expensive prices at the pump this week since September 2019 - up 12 cents over last week. The Tennessee Gas Price average is now $2.41 per gallon, which is nearly 18 cents more than one year ago. “Gas prices surged last week in the aftermath of forced refinery shutdowns in the Gulf Coast due to last week's winter weather,” explains Megan Cooper, spokesperson for AAA. “Similar to the effects that we see on refineries when hurricanes hit, any reports of extended downtime or significant supply impacts could cause another round of price increases at the pump." But Cooper says the good news is the nearly two dozen impacted refiners are expected to restart operations this week, if they haven’t already.” Tennessee continues to have the 9th least expensive gasoline in the nation.
