On the week, the majority of states\u2019 (26) gas price averages either increased by one cent or saw no movement. Only two states saw prices increase a nickel or more. Prices are poised to fluctuate in the coming week, especially in light of a recent drop in demand.<\/p>\n<p>The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported demand decreased from 9.48 million b\/d to 9.15 million b\/d for the week ending May 28th. During the same week, total gasoline stocks increased to nearly 234 million bbl as U.S. refinery utilization jumped to 88.7%\u2014the highest rate since February 2020.<\/p>\n<p>To help gauge pump price fluctuation later this summer, AAA is tracking two additional factors: crude oil prices and global supply. Last week, crude prices increased to their highest price point ($69.00\/bbl) in 2.5 years. Since crude accounts for more than 50% of the price at the pump, when it goes up, so does the price motorists pay. What is promising is that crude may not sustain at this level.<\/p>\n<p>The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), and its allies including Russia, announced last week they still plan to gradually increase crude production in July. If they do increase production, this could lead to a decrease in crude oil prices, which is good news for motorists.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[470center]<\/p>\n<h3>National Oil Market Dynamics<\/h3>\n<p>At the close of Friday\u2019s formal trading session, WTI increased by 81 cents to settle at $69.62. OPEC\u2019s efforts to hold its production agreement in place bolstered prices last week. The move could help reduce pump prices later this summer, but the amount of the price reduction will depend on how well OPEC and its allies adhere to their agreement and if the additional production is not met with higher demand. OPEC and its allies will meet again on July 1st to review their production agreement.<\/p>\n<h3>Tennessee Regional Prices<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Most expensive&nbsp;<\/strong>metro markets \u2013&nbsp; Johnson City&nbsp;($2.94), Nashville&nbsp;($2.91), Cleveland&nbsp;($2.90)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Least expensive&nbsp;<\/strong>metro markets&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;Chattanooga&nbsp;($2.80), Knoxville&nbsp;($2.87), Kingsport&nbsp;($2.88)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tennessee Gas Price Averages<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(Price per gallon of regular unleaded gasoline)<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;\" width=\"480\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"1\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"_x0000_i1025\" src=\"http:\/\/us.vocuspr.com\/Publish\/522440\/vcsPRAsset_522440_111140_05eefa3c-52b9-479f-bf8a-65a00e2b54b4_0.jpg\" alt=\"vcsPRAsset_522440_105553_279a6033-181d-4f41-a971-72bcb183d553_0\" width=\"75\" height=\"54\" border=\"0\"><\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#A8A8A8\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Monday<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#A8A8A8\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#A8A8A8\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Week Ago<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#A8A8A8\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Month Ago<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#A8A8A8\">\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>One Year Ago<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Tennessee<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.884<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.884<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.866<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.713<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$1.785<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">Chattanooga<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">$2.803<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">$2.814<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">$2.782<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">$2.642<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">$1.768<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">Knoxville<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.874<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.872<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.876<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.693<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$1.737<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">Memphis<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">$2.891<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">$2.889<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">$2.889<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">$2.762<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DCDCDC\">\n<p align=\"center\">$1.778<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">Nashville<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.913<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.914<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.873<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$2.734<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\">$1.857<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"6\" bgcolor=\"#A8A8A8\">\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/urldefense.com\/v3\/__https:\/gasprices.aaa.com\/?state=TN__;!!A1OrVxnpM0w!V8XwAIBL4oCuNQ-jWKmA4wIqSjA291qgTv3FNpYQA55NYJrn3nR6TOen-OMQUrg$\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Click here<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;to view current gasoline price averages<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[470center]<\/p>\n<h3>About AAA &#8211; The Auto Club Group<\/h3>\n<p>The Auto Club Group (ACG) is the second-largest AAA club in North America with more than 14 million members across 14 U.S. states, the province of Quebec, and two U.S. territories.
