The Georgia gas price average inched up a penny compared to a week ago, bringing a slight bump at the pump. Georgians now pay an average price of $2.91 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline, which can change overnight. Monday’s state average is 1 cent higher than it was a week ago, same as it was a month ago, at $2.91, and 31 cents lower than it was a year ago. It costs drivers an average of $43.65 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are paying almost $ 5.00 less to fill up at the pump than they did a year ago.
“We’re only seeing a slight uptick in Georgia’s gas prices right now,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “With crude oil prices holding steady and summer travel tapering off, increases at the pump remain minimal as we head into the final days of the season.”
Local averages on Monday were $2.81 in Floyd County, $2.79 in Gordon County, $2.85 in Bartow County, $2.82 in Chattooga County, and $2.84 in Polk County.

Prices at the Pump Stay Put for Another Week
No news is good news for drivers as gas prices remained stable this past week, with the national average sitting at $3.13, which may fluctuate overnight. The summer of lower pump prices continues, as the busy driving season nears its end. As we enter peak hurricane season, storms affecting gas production and distribution are something to keep an eye on. But right now, with crude oil prices remaining steady, there’s no indication gas prices will make any drastic moves.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand decreased from 9.04 million barrels a day last week to 9 million. Total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 227.1 million barrels to 226.3 million barrels. Gasoline production increased last week, averaging 9.8 million barrels per day.
