Gas prices in Tennessee increased 1.5 cents during the past week. So far, motorists have found the most expensive summer gas prices in four years. Since June 1st, Tennessee gas prices averaged $2.64 per gallon-an increase of nearly 60 cents compared to the average price last summer. However, current pump prices remain 12 cents below this year’s high set during the Memorial Day weekend.
AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said reduced global oil supplies have caused summer travelers to pay a higher price at the pump this year.
The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded this summer was $2.87.
