RUTHERFORD COUNTY, TN - Here’s some news that will rock the gas-loving community in a positive way… Tennessee has climbed up the charts to claim the title of the 5th cheapest state for refueling this week! Just one week prior, our beloved Volunteer State was ranking a measly 6th on this prestigious list brought to you by AAA Auto Club. 3-weeks ago, Tennessee was even further down on the list, ranking as the 8th cheapest state for fuel.

Currently, the average price of regular unleaded gas is a jaw-dropping $2.68 per gallon, making specific jewels like the Murfreesboro/Smyrna area incredibly desirable for budget-conscious motorists. Meanwhile, to our east in Cannon County, they’re paying an average of $2.94 per gallon for the honor of regular grade pumping. And just a stone’s throw away in Bedford County, lucky residents can smile over average gas prices of $2.62 per gallon. Talk about living the dream!

And let’s not forget the legendary Williamson County, which has once again taken home an award for its unwavering commitment to high prices. With gas averaging a splendid $3.09 per gallon, they’ve heroically edged out 94 other counties in Tennessee. Who knew that being the most expensive could feel so good?

For those looking to snag the least expensive gas in Tennessee, it’s time to embark on a joyful journey northeast to Bradley County near Chattanooga. With a mind-blowing average price of $2.59 per gallon, you might just feel like you hit the jackpot!

Now, if you’re feeling particularly savvy as you approach the pump, here’s a little tidbit to ponder whilst deciding on the grade of gas to purchase: according to a study by AAA, non-TOP TIER gasolines cause 19 times more engine deposits than TOP TIER brands over just 4,000 miles of simulated driving. That's right, folks—nothing says “fuel economy” like a good old carbon deposit! These deposits can not only reduce fuel economy and increase emissions but also wreak havoc on your vehicle’s performance, especially if you drive a newer model. Who knew saving a few cents could lead to such chaos under the hood?

But fear not! TOP TIER gasoline is widely available, and it provides both fuel economy and vehicle performance benefits at an average of just three cents more per gallon. So, the next time you're at the pump, consider treating yourself to that fancy TOP TIER stuff. Who knows? It could make all the difference in your fuel-fueled escapades!
