“Last week brought another round of falling oil and gasoline futures prices,” AAA spokesperson Megan Cooper said in a report Monday. “This is great news for Tennessee drivers and means that it is very likely the downward trend at the pump will continue this week. Drivers can also likely expect pump prices to remain low through the holidays — barring any sudden spike in crude oil prices.”
