-AAA South-
Georgia gas prices have steadily fallen in recent weeks, even as demand holds firm amid broader inflation. Drivers should continue to stay mindful of fuel costs and look for ways to save at the pump.
“Gas prices in Georgia continue to decline, largely due to crude oil prices remaining below $100 per barrel; however, it’s unclear how long this trend will last, especially given ongoing uncertainty in the Middle East,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “With that in mind, the best approach is for drivers to stay mindful of fuel costs and look for ways to save at the pump whenever possible.”
Compared to recent benchmarks:
- 8 cents lower than last week
- 25 cents lower than last month
- 90 cents higher than this time last year
For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline, the cost is approximately $56.40.
Local averages on Monday were $3.68 in Floyd County, $3.66 in Chattooga County and Gordon County, $3.63 in Bartow County, and $3.72 in Polk County.
National Average Falls 10 Cents from Last Week
The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline is $4.07, marking the third consecutive week of declines. Prices are easing as crude oil remains low; however, ongoing uncertainty about when the Strait of Hormuz will fully reopen continues to influence the market. As a result, oil prices are not expected to drop significantly, especially as demand typically rises during the summer months.
