The Georgia gas price average saw a minimal decrease at the pump compared to a week ago.
Georgians are paying an average price of $3.42 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. Monday’s state average is 1 cent less than a week ago, 6 cents more than a month ago, and 4 cents more than this time last year.
It costs drivers an average price of $51.30 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline.
Georgians are now paying almost $1.00 more to fill up at the pump compared to a year ago.
Local averages on Monday were $3.34 in Floyd County and Polk County, $3.41 in Bartow County, $3.37 in Gordon County, and $3.29 in Chattooga County.
“Crude oil prices dropped slightly but not significant enough to put a dent in prices at the pump,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “High gasoline demand, amid tight supply, has led to higher pump prices nationwide. AAA continues to encourage drivers to take advantage of the money-saving gas tips listed below.”
Money-Saving Tips for Drivers
- Shop around for gas prices. Drivers can check area gas prices on the Fuel Price Finder.
- Consider paying in cash vs. a credit card. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who pay with a credit card.
- Enroll in fuel savings programs.
Fuel-Saving Tips for Drivers
- Maintain your vehicle to ensure the best fuel economy. Find a trusted automotive facility at AAA.com/Auto Repair.
