TENNESSEE (July 27, 2026) — Average gasoline prices in Tennessee increased 9.9 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.69/g today, according to GasBuddy's survey of 3,821 stations in Tennessee. Prices in Tennessee are 34.8 cents per gallon higher than a month ago and stand 92.3 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has increased 17.8 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $5.255 per gallon.

The national average is up 23.9 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 95.6 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:

July 27, 2025: $2.76/g (U.S. Average: $3.10/g)

July 27, 2024: $3.03/g (U.S. Average: $3.50/g)

July 27, 2023: $3.34/g (U.S. Average: $3.69/g)

July 27, 2022: $3.84/g (U.S. Average: $4.26/g)

July 27, 2021: $2.85/g (U.S. Average: $3.15/g)


"Average gasoline and diesel prices rose in nearly every state over the last week, as continued escalations between the U.S. and Iran, renewed Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, and fresh Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries combined to keep upward pressure on both crude and refined product markets," said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. "However, a weekend pullback in hostilities offered some relief, with oil prices opening sharply lower Sunday, suggesting the pace of increases at the pump may moderate in the days ahead. For now, motorists should expect prices to remain elevated, but the intensity of further gains will depend heavily on how the geopolitical situation develops in the coming week."
