PRESS RELEASE FROM AAA:
TN Gas Prices Rise Eight Cents
Tennessee is the 9th least expensive market in the nation
NASHVILLE, Tenn., (September 9, 2025) — Gas prices across the state rose eight cents, on average, over last week. The Tennessee Gas Price average is now $2.84 which is five cents more expensive than one month ago and a penny more than one year ago.
“We typically see gas prices trend lower in the second half of the year, however, factors like seasonal refinery maintenance and the threat of hurricanes can often bring volatility in the early fall months,” said Megan Cooper, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Major metro areas – Knoxville, Nashville, and Chattanooga – saw the largest increases over last week, while the rest of the state saw minimal changes at the pump.”
National Gas Prices
The National average remains at $3.19, which is four cents more expensive than one month ago but eight cents less expensive than one year ago.
