Gas prices decrease
AAA Tuesday April 30, 2013

The average per-gallon price of regular unleaded gasoline in Tennessee was $3.26 as of Sunday, a decrease of two cents compared to the price from last week. That's according to AAA. This marks the ninth straight week the state has seen the average price drop. As of Sunday, the national average price was $3.50, a two-cent per gallon decrease. After oil prices spiked briefly, they quickly deflated after the U.S.Commerce Department said the Gross Domestic Product grew less than expected during the first quarter of the year. A Triple-A spokesperson said the market is expected to be volatile this week, so its likely motorists will see little movement in pump prices this week.
