Georgia Gas Price Average Continues To Drop: AAA

BUCKHEAD, GA — Good news for Georgia drivers: gas prices continue to decline at the pump compared to a week ago.

Georgia drivers are now paying an average price of $3.76 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline, according to AAA.

Monday’s state average is 11 cents less than a week ago, 50 cents less than last month and $1.05 more than this time last year.

It now costs drivers $56.40 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline.

“Georgians are feeling less pain at the pump than in mid-March when prices were record high- over 4 dollars a gallon,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Although supply and demand factors typically support elevated pump prices, the fluctuating price of oil continues to be the main factor influencing prices at the pumps.”

The Atlanta ($3.83), Brunswick ($3.80) and Macon metro areas ($3.79) currently have the most expensive gas in the state.

The Warner Robins ($3.53), Albany ($3.56) and Valdosta metro areas ($3.58) have the least expensive gas, according to AAA.

Georgia reached a record high on March 11 with $4.29 a gallon gas prices.

Since last Monday, AAA says the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has decreased by 8 cents to $4.11. At the close of last Wednesday’s formal trading session, WTI dropped by $5.73 to settle at $96.23.

Crude prices decreased after the Energy Information Administration (EIA) weekly report revealed that total domestic crude stocks increased last week by 2.5 million barrels to 412.4 million barrels, approximately 17 percent lower than the beginning of April 2021.
