Historical gasoline prices in Tennessee and the national average going back five years:

January 19, 2021: $2.16/g (U.S. Average: $2.40/g)

Neighboring areas and their current gas prices:
Chattanooga- $2.42/g, up 8.5 cents per gallon from last week's $2.33/g.
Nashville- $2.59/g, up 10.6 cents per gallon from last week's $2.48/g.
Huntsville- $2.50/g, up 6.0 cents per gallon from last week's $2.44/g.

“After seven straight weeks of declines, the national average price of gasoline has moved higher, breaking the streak as oil prices have climbed back near $60 per barrel after dipping into the mid-$50s,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “There’s still a window of opportunity to revisit—or even beat—recent gas price lows, but that window will begin to close soon. California will soon start transitioning back to cleaner summer gasoline, with most of the rest of the country following in a little over a month. However, with a surplus of winter gasoline built up after large inventory increases in recent weeks, we’re likely to see localized discounts as that fuel is cleared from the system before the seasonal rise becomes more organized in the weeks ahead.”
