The Georgia gas price average saw a minimal decrease at the pump compared to a week ago, according to AAA auto club.
Georgians are paying an average price of $3.42 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight), AAA said it a press release. Monday’s state average was one cent less than a week ago, six cents more than a month ago and four 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 more to fill up at the pump compared to a year ago.
“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 in the press release. “High gasoline demand, amid tight supply, has led to higher pump prices nationwide.”
