The average price for a gallon gasoline in Georgia fell almost a dime last week, according to AAA data.

The Georgia average hit $2.01 as of Sunday, 8 cents lower than the previous week, and sub-$2 gas is being offered in many places. The average is nearly 8 cents down from a month ago and almost 75 cents from a year ago.

The national average for regular unleaded gasoline has fallen for 16 consecutive days and has decreased 14 cents in that time, AAA said.

“Motorists are saving around $11 for a full tank of gas compared to this time last year,” spokesman Mark Jenkins said in the AAA’s weekly gas price brief. “That gives travelers more money to spend on lodging, shopping and dining out. For those on the fence about taking a trip, these low gas prices could be all the incentive one needs to hit the road.”
