Gas prices in Tennessee climbed 5 cents last week. Sunday’s state average of $2.63 per gallon is 3 cents more than a month ago and 15 cents more than this time last year.
Tennessee gas prices have hovered within 5 cents of their current average since early June. However, prices remain 10 cents less than this year’s high, which was established during the Memorial Day weekend.
AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said crude oil prices climbed and dragged gasoline prices higher as a result.
The national average price of a gallon of regular unleaded is $2.87.
