NASHVILLE – Gas prices across Tennessee dropped five cents on average over the past week as 1.8 million Tennesseans hit the road for Thanksgiving. The state’s average gas price now stands at $2.66 per gallon, six cents lower than last month and 24 cents less than the same time last year.

“Those traveling in Tennessee over Thanksgiving saw the cheapest prices at the gas pump since 2020,” said Megan Cooper, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group.
