-AAA South-
The Georgia gas price average is a penny pricier this week, proof that even small climbs matter.
Monday’s state average is 1 cent higher than a week ago, 4 cents lower than it was a month ago, and 42 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 $7.00 less to fill up at the pump than a year ago.
“Georgia’s gas prices are rising at a slow pace, largely due to crude oil prices holding steady around $65 a barrel,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “As long as oil prices remain stable, Georgians can expect modest movement at the pump.”
Local averages on Monday were $2.81 in Floyd County and Chattooga County, $2.80 in Gordon County, $2.88 in Polk County, and $2.90 in Bartow County.
Nationally
Gas Prices Sluggish During the Summer Doldrums
Since last Monday, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline has remained unchanged from the previous week, at $3.14, subject to change overnight. The summer of lower gas prices continues thanks to crude oil prices averaging around $65 a barrel. Pump prices so far in 2025 haven’t had any significant spikes or dips compared to other recent years.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand increased from 8.48 million barrels a day last week to 8.96 million barrels. Total domestic gasoline supply increased from 232.9 million barrels to 231.1 million barrels. Gasoline production increased last week, averaging 9.4 million barrels per day.
Oil Market Dynamics

The EIA reports that crude oil inventories decreased by 3.2 million barrels from the previous week. At 419 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 9% below the five-year average for this time of year.
