While gas prices continue to increase, AAA said Giles County drivers will see some of the cheapest prices at the pumps in almost 20 years.
However, even with these low fuel prices, drivers are not expected to hit the roads this upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
The reason behind the low predicted travel rates is the COVID-19 pandemic as people continue to practice social distancing this holiday.
After breaking a ten week decline, Giles County gas prices continue to inch higher.
The Tennessee Gas Price average is now $1.63 which is only a two cent increase over last week and three cents higher than one month ago.
Tennesseans are still experiencing gas prices that are 92 cents cheaper compared to this time last year.  
Anecdotal reports suggest fewer people will hit the road compared to years past for what is considered the unofficial start of the summer travel season.
