About gas prices in Tennessee
Tennessee sits on PADD 2 pipeline supply with major terminals in Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville, drawing fuel from Marathon Catlettsburg Kentucky and Valero Memphis (a 195,000 barrel-per-day refinery on the Mississippi River). The state gas tax is around 27 cents per gallon. Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga all see relatively competitive pricing. Costco, Sam's Club, Murphy USA at Walmart, and Kroger Fuel lead on value across Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga metros. Buc-ee's has expanded into Tennessee at the Crossville and Sevierville locations and pulls aggressive low pricing. Eastern Tennessee near the Virginia and North Carolina borders sometimes tracks the Appalachian regional pricing rather than Nashville averages.
