The Georgia gas price average ticked up by one cent this week, showing only a minimal change at the pump.
Georgians now pay an average price of $2.90 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline, which can change overnight.
As of Monday, the state’s average is unchanged from last month and sits 4 cents below where it stood this time last year.
For Georgia drivers, filling up a standard 15-gallon tank now costs approximately $43.50, nearly $1.00 less than it did a year ago.
“Gas prices in Georgia have edged up just a bit,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “With crude oil prices holding firm and travel demand easing, we’re seeing only minor fluctuations at the pump.”
Local averages on Monday were $2.78 in Floyd County, $2.83 in Bartow County, $2.87 in Gordon County, $2.88 in Polk County, and $2.80 in Chattooga County.
Nationally: Woes at the Pump for West Coast Drivers
Since last Monday, the national average gas price has increased by 1 cent, reaching $3.18, and may fluctuate overnight. Pacific Northwest drivers, who already pay some of the highest gas prices in the country, saw their state averages surge this past week. A pipeline outage caused a spike in fuel prices in Oregon and Washington. Although West Coast drivers are feeling the pain at the pump, prices remain relatively low in the Plains and the South.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), WTI fell 47 cents to settle at $64.05 a barrel. The EIA reports that crude oil inventories decreased by 9.3 million barrels from the previous week. At 415.4 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 5% below the five-year average for this time of year.
