-AAA South-

The Georgia gas price average decreased slightly at the pump compared to a week ago. 

Georgians now pay an average price of $2.90 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline, which can change overnight. 

Monday’s state average is 1 cent lower than it was a week ago, 1 cent lower than it was a month ago, and 33 cents lower than it was a year ago. 

It costs drivers an average of $43.50 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are paying almost $5.00 less to fill up at the pump than a year ago.

“Gas prices have remained relatively steady because crude oil is holding in the mid-$60s,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Since crude makes up nearly half of what drivers pay at the pump, that stability is keeping prices from moving much.”

Local averages on Monday were $2.82 in Floyd, Gordon, and Chattooga Counties; $2.81 in Bartow County, and $2.86 in Polk County.
