GA Gas Gauge: Prices Back on Steady Decline

By Scott Bernarde

The average price for a gallon gasoline in Georgia fell more than a nickel last week, according to AAA data.

The Georgia average hit $2.06 as of Sunday, 6 cents lower than the previous week, and sub-$2 gas is being offered in many places. The average is nearly 10 cents down from a month ago and almost 90 cents from a year ago.

Nationwide, 21 percent of gas stations are selling gasoline below 2 bucks, AAA said.

After a brief uptick last month, the national average for regular unleaded gasoline had fallen for 16 consecutive days, AAA said.

“Gas prices keep falling because oil prices are low and gasoline supply continues to outpace demand,” spokesman Mark Jenkins said in the AAA’s weekly gas price brief. “Barring any unanticipated disruptions in supply, or spikes in the price of crude oil, the national average could fall below the $2 per gallon threshold for the first time since 2009 before the end of year.”

The lowest price reported Monday in Cumming on AtlantaGasPrice.com was $1.95.
