Falling Gas Prices Make 4th of July Travel More Popular

With Fourth of July just around the corner many people are planning to travel out of town. Some that weren't planning to when gas was close to $4.00 a tank, have changed their minds.  According to the AAA Fuel Gauge report, the national average for a gallon of regular gas is no $3.39, down from $3.64 a month ago. The average price in Georgia is $3.152 and is still continuing to drop.

The rapid fall of prices is due to several factors combined. The price of a barrel of oil has fallen and the demand for gasoline has fallen. Many experts are predicting that gas could drop another .
