As Thanksgiving travel ramps up, Georgia drivers are feeling a slight pinch at the pump, with gas prices ticking upward heading into the holiday week. A modest rise in crude oil over the weekend, combined with growing travel demand, is pushing gas prices higher. The statewide average now stands at $2.87 per gallon as of Monday, though daily fluctuations remain likely.
Compared to recent benchmarks:
- It’s 6 cents higher than last week
- 9 cents higher than last month
- 6 cents lower than this time last year
For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank, the cost now comes to approximately $43.95.
“Gas prices in Georgia increased slightly, but remain about $1 cheaper than last Thanksgiving, offering drivers some relief despite the recent uptick,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA-The Auto Club Group.
Local averages on Monday were $2.75 in Floyd County, $2.78 in Gordon County, $2.68 in Chattooga County, $2.80 in Polk County, and $2.87 in Bartow County.
Nationally: Thanksgiving Travel Meets Steady Gas Prices
As drivers prepare to hit the road for Thanksgiving in record numbers, gas prices are relatively steady compared to last week, sitting at $3.07. Gasoline demand is set to spike during Thanksgiving week, but overall demand remains low for this time of year, helping to keep pump prices in check. In 2025, the national average has stayed relatively stable, thanks to low crude oil prices and the absence of major storms impacting Gulf Coast refineries.
