\"AAA\"Tampa, FL <\/span><\/strong>– <\/span>Prices at the pump increased last week as anticipated, yet are pointing lower again as we move into Monday. <\/p>\n

Gas prices in Tennessee<\/a> increased 4 cents during the past week. Sunday’s state average of $2.65 is 4 cents more than a month ago and 51 cents more than last year. <\/p>\n

Gas prices in July averaged $2.61 per gallon. That was the highest monthly average for July since 2014.<\/p>\n

Summer gas prices are poised to be the most expensive in four years. Since June 1st, Tennessee gas prices averaged $2.63 per gallon – 55 cents more than the average price last summer. <\/p>\n

“Prices at the pump have pinballed around this summer, but fortunately have remained within a 20 cent range,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “The limited swings in pump prices and a strong economy has led to one of the biggest driving summers in history. Prices should slip lower this week, due to falling futures prices on the stock market. However, demand historically remains strong through August, which should prevent prices from slipping anywhere near the lows we saw last year.”<\/p>\n
