Why are gas prices going up? Demand, change to summer blend have TN drivers paying more at the pump – By Joyce Orlando (The Tennessean) / March 15, 2024
Gas prices in Tennessee are creeping up once again, but it’s still cheaper than it was last year…slightly.
The average gas price for Tennessee this week jumped over the $3 mark and now sits at $3.08, just a few cents shy of what it was at the same time in 2023, according to AAA. Many communities in Tennessee have surpassed the $3 mark but there are a handful of counties still under.
It has been a slow creep up the last month, but there could be a steep spike soon.
“This is the time of year we normally see pump prices start to rise,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “And while prices have been rather pokey so far, they should begin to accelerate and move higher very soon.”
