EIA Weekly On-Highway Diesel Survey - week of August 31, 2026
Diesel cost per gallon in Tennessee
Read this as a district figure, not a state figure. The EIA weekly on-highway diesel survey prices the United States, its districts and California, and nothing else. It does not price Tennessee. The number above is Midwest (PADD 2), series EMD_EPD2D_PTE_R20_DPG, and it is the closest published federal figure for Tennessee. We do not estimate a price for Tennessee from it. 2 of Tennessee's neighbouring states sit in the same district and therefore show the same price below.
EIA does not publish a weekly on-highway diesel price for Tennessee. The federal survey prices the district Tennessee sits in, Midwest (PADD 2), at $5.571 per gallon in the week of August 31, 2026 (series EMD_EPD2D_PTE_R20_DPG), $0.03 below the US average of $5.599. Pump prices inside the district vary around that figure.
Diesel tax breakdown
Tax rates: Federation of Tax Administrators state motor fuel table and state revenue departments. Not EIA data. The percentage is against the EIA figure shown above, which is a district figure unless Tennessee is surveyed directly.
Neighbouring states
Neighbours in the same EIA district carry the same published figure. A matching price here means the federal survey shows no measured gap across that border, not that pumps are identical.
The trip calculator starts at $5.57/gal, the EIA figure above. Change it to the price you actually see at the pump for a real answer.
