However, the national average should drop below that point within the next week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[320left]&#8221;Last week&#8217;s crude price plunge adds&nbsp;even more weight to what was already strong downward pressure on prices at the pump,&#8221; said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA &#8211; The Auto Club Group.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tennessee motorists should see gas prices drop another 5-15 cents as a result. The state average will likely log a new&nbsp;2018-low within the next 10 days. These&nbsp;falling prices are&nbsp;mostly due to record crude production rates from the U.S., Russia and Saudi Arabia. Unless the oil market quickly recovers, these low gas prices should hang around through the end of the year,&#8221; stated Jenkins.<\/p>\n<h3>Fuel Fundamentals<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Crude oil prices plunged another $6 per barrel&nbsp;last week &#8211;
