-AAA South-

The Georgia gas price average is holding steady, giving drivers across the Peach State a welcome pause at the pump, as the state’s average gas price holds steady at $2.91. 

In an unusual turn, this price remains unchanged from both last week and last month and sits 38 cents lower than this time last year.

According to Montrae Waiters with AAA,

“While pump prices are trending higher in many parts of the country, as summer travel winds down, Georgia gas prices remain steady,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Crude oil and fuel demand have both ticked upward, but these changes haven’t yet pushed prices higher for drivers in Georgia, offering a bit of relief for drivers wrapping up their seasonal road trips.”

Local averages on Monday were $2.80 in Floyd County, $2.83 in Gordon and Chattooga Counties, $2.85 in Bartow County, and $2.87 in Polk County.

Nationally

Fuel Prices Chill While Demand Sizzles

Since last Monday, the national average gas price has increased by just one cent this week, reaching $3.15, and may fluctuate overnight. With roughly a month left in the summer driving season across several U.S. states, drivers are still enjoying smooth conditions at the pump. 

According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand rose from 8.96 to 9.15 million barrels per day, while total domestic supply declined from 231.1 million barrels to 228.4 million. Production also ticked up last week, averaging 10 million barrels daily. 

Oil Market Dynamics

At the close of last Wednesday’s formal trading session, WTI rose 79 cents to settle at $70 a barrel. According to the EIA, U.S. crude oil inventories rose by 7.7 million barrels from the prior week, bringing the total to 426.7 million barrels. Despite the increase, current levels remain approximately 6% below the five-year seasonal average.
