Gas prices in Tennessee continue falling like autumn leaves. The state average has declined the past 59 consecutive days for a total of 52 cents.
Sunday’s state average of $2.17 per gallon is 7 cents less than last week, 34 cents less than last month, and 9 cents less than this time last year.
Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA, said pump prices are close to catching up with the recent crude price plunge. However, oil prices are beginning to increase, after OPEC announced a production cut agreement on Friday. Regardless, drivers should continue to enjoy low gas prices through the end of the year, unless oil prices suddenly spike. Jenkins added that gas prices in Tennessee could drop another 5-8 cents this week, but should level off soon,
