As fall settles over the Peach State, Georgia motorists are enjoying a modest break at the gas pump. Over the past weekend, the average price for regular unleaded gasoline dipped slightly, reflecting national trends of steady supply and tempered demand. As of Monday, the statewide average stands at $2.87 per gallon, a figure that can fluctuate daily.
Compared to recent benchmarks:
• It’s 2 cents lower than last week
• 3 cents lower than last month
• But still 16 cents higher than this time last year
For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank, the cost now comes to approximately $43.05, about 50 cents less than a month ago.
“It’s nice to see prices finally moving in the right direction,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA-The Auto Club Group. “With cooler weather settling in and demand slowing down, Georgia drivers are getting a little break at the pump just in time for fall festivities.”
Local averages on Monday were $2.75 in Floyd County, $2.79 in Bartow County, $2.81 in Gordon County, and $2.82 in both Chattooga and Polk Counties.
Gas Prices Ease as Autumn Arrives
As fall settles in, drivers across the country are seeing a welcome dip in gas prices. The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has dropped to $3.08, down from last week. According to the Energy Information Administration, gasoline demand has hit a four-month low, one of the key factors behind the continued decline at the pump.
With the third quarter of 2025 wrapping up on a note of increased fuel inventories and the seasonal switch from summer-grade to winter-grade gasoline, experts say prices could fall even further in the coming weeks.
