With the coming of Spring comes higher gas prices. Tennessee motorists are now finding the most expensive gas prices of the year.
Tennessee gas prices increased a little more than a nickel during the past week, then held steady through the weekend. On average, prices at the pump climbed 16 cents in the last three weeks.
AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said strong demand, tightening supplies, and record-high gasoline exports gave gas prices a boost.
Tennessee’s average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $2.46, up six cents from a week ago and up 14 cents from a month ago.
The national average price is $2.65.
