ATLANTA, Ga. () — According to AAA, the average price in Georgia for a gallon of gas dipped slightly this week, giving drivers a bit of relief at the pump.
Georgians now pay an average price of $2.89 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. Monday’s state average is 2 cents lower than it was a week ago, 1 cent lower than it was a month ago, and 26 cents lower than it was a year ago.
It costs drivers an average of $43.35 to fill a 15–gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are paying almost $4.00 less to fill up at the pump than a year ago.
Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman, said, “Gas prices across the nation nudged upward this week but remain in the same tight range we’ve seen for months. Georgia has stayed relatively stable. However, with the U.S. in the peak of hurricane season, any disruption along the Gulf Coast could quickly shift the balance. For now, we remain hopeful that drivers in Georgia will see some relief at the pump as Labor Day approaches.”
