Gasoline Prices Decrease During Week
Tennessee - August 10, 2026
From the Aug 11, 2026 e-EditionTENNESSEE (August 10) — The national average price of gasoline decreased 10.7 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.94/g today. The national average is up 9.5 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 85.6 cents per gallon higher than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.
Historical gasoline prices in Tennessee and the national average going back five years:
August 10, 2025: $2.75/g (U.S. Average: $3.08/g)
August 10, 2024: $2.98/g (U.S. Average: $3.43/g)
August 10, 2023: $3.42/g (U.S. Average: $3.81/g)
August 10, 2022: $3.53/g (U.S. Average: $3.96/g)
August 10, 2021: $2.86/g (U.S. Average: $3.18/g)
"Average gasoline prices declined in 47 states over the last week while diesel fell in 39, with the national average price of gasoline posting a double-digit drop per gallon," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "Diesel's decline was roughly half that of gasoline, in part due to continued pressure on refined product markets from ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries. However, the wild ride continues. Iran is pushing back against a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and oil prices edged modestly higher in Sunday night trading, signaling that the recent relief may not last. With the Strait remaining closed, upward pressure on fuel prices could return quickly, and if things don't go well, the national average could climb to its highest level ever recorded this late in the calendar year. For now, enjoy the dip, but keep a close eye on how the Strait situation develops in the days ahead."
