Gas prices in Tennessee are holding steady right now, but face upward pressure due to recent strength in the oil market and rising wholesale gasoline prices. The average price for gasoline in Tennessee is $2.01 per gallon, but should rise another 3 to 5 cents this week.
Tennessee motorists are paying one cent more than a week ago. However, the average price is still 7 cents less than last month, and 35 cents less than this time last year.
The national average price of gasoline is $2.24 per gallon.
