The Georgia gas price average saw a drop at the pumps compared to a week ago.
Georgians are now paying an average price of $2.94 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline, which is a penny less a week ago, 4 cents higher than it was a month ago, and 37 cents lower than it was a year ago.
It costs drivers an average of $44.10 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are paying almost $6.00 less to fill up at the pump than a year ago.
“While U.S. airstrikes in the Middle East took place over a week ago, crude oil prices have stayed stable, resulting in a slight drop in gas prices,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “However, drivers should prepare for potential increases at the pumps as we head into the busy 4th of July travel week.”
Local averages on Monday were $2.86 in Floyd County, $2.87 in Gordon County, $2.88 in Chattooga County, $2.89 in Bartow County, and $2.90 in Polk County.
