r/Tennessee

TN has one of the lowest gas tax in the country., and because of our proximity to the gulf, competitively low transport costs. I filled my tank this morning $4.29 in rural TN this morning.

Gas avg in previous years.

1. 2021: $2.79
2. 2022: $3.62
3. 2023: $3.22
4. 2024: 2.98
5. 2025 $2.80
6. Current: $4.03

The outlier in 2022 was created by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia; whereas, the current avg of $4.03 was created by the United States solely.

It is amazing to me how quickly this administration can get legislation through when it benefits them personally but something that benefits us on a personal level - like lowering grocery taxes - is too complicated and runs into multiple burecratic roadblocks.

Just got on with the state and insurance kicked in and it was time for a refill on my Estradiol. Caremark is denying the prior auth saying it’s not approved for “sexual transformation” care. Is this right???

Hello Tennessee!

I have been thinking a lot about moving down south. Especially Tennessee.

I've been in Vermont for almost a decade. Love the woods, the quiet, and the lack of people.. But I am also young and we don't have a whole lot going on.

One of my most favorite things is music. I love real country, bluegrass, folk and americana. I've been thinking of visiting Nashville and the surrounding areas to see if that would be a good place to put roots down. I don't think I could like in a city, but would like to be within an hour to an hour and half away.

Up here I am gardener by profession in the summer months and hop around different jobs in the winter.

What are some pros and cons you find living in Tennessee?

Thanks in advance for your time and help

Hey ya’ll! I am looking for all sorts of advice for a summer all American road trip in Tennessee (a bit of Kentucky as well). For context we are two guys from Finland, we have visited Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga 2 years ago during autumn, we loved Tennessee so much that we are planning on returning this August for 17 days and are looking for advice for things to see and do. We are looking for that “americana” experience, like county fairs, rodeos, live music, national parks, sports etc. would also love to visit some chill lakeside for few days of beers and maybe boating. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
