AAA: GEORGIA GAS PRICES CONTINUE TO DECLINE

Georgia’s gas prices decreased during the past week, according to AAA, The Auto Club Group. Motorists across the state now pay an average of $2.37 per gallon of regular unleaded. That’s three cents less than a week ago and a cent less than last month, but 21 cents more than this time last year.

It now costs $35.55 to fill a 15-gallon tank of gasoline. That’s $5.55 less than what motorists paid in April of 2019, when pump prices hit last year’s peak of $2.74 per gallon.

AAA spokesperson Montrae Waiters says, “Increased stocks and low demand have helped to push the national gas average lower this week. As these trends continue, American motorists will likely continue to see pump prices decline through the week.”

Sunday’s national average of $2.52 per gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is three cents less than last week and three cents less than at this same time last month, but 26 cents more than this time last year.
