Media release from AAA – The Auto Club Group:
ATLANTA (December 15, 2025)- While extreme cold settles across Georgia, drivers are seeing a bit of relief where it matters, at the pump as the state’s average gas price moved lower this week. As of Monday, the statewide average sits at $2.76 per gallon, though daily price changes remain possible.
“It may be freezing outside, but at least filling up the tank doesn’t sting quite as much right now,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA-The Auto Club Group. “With oil supplies high and demand easing, gas prices are sliding and expected to stay low through the holidays.”
Compared to recent benchmarks:
- It’s 3 cents lower than last week
- 6 cents lower than last month
- 15 cents lower than this time last year
For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank, the cost now comes to approximately $41.40.
Nationally: Winter Chill Brings a Warm Surprise at the Pump
This holiday season, drivers are unwrapping a welcome gift at the gas pump: prices have dipped 4 cents to $2.91. The drop is fueled by lower crude oil costs, weaker demand, and the switch to cheaper winter-blend gasoline, factors working together to keep prices down.
Electric:
The national average per kilowatt hour of electricity at a public EV charging station stayed the same this past week at 38 cents. To plan ahead, drivers can check charging prices along their route using AAA’s TripTik Travel Planner.
Regional Prices:
The most expensive metro markets in Georgia are Savannah ($2.86), Macon ($2.80), and Atlanta ($2.79).
The least expensive metro markets in Georgia areBrunswick ($2.67), Catoosa-Dade-Walker ($2.65), and Albany ($2.63).

AAA encourages drivers to use the money-saving gas tips listed below.

Fuel-Saving Tips for Drivers
- Maintain your vehicle to ensure the best fuel economy. Find a trusted automotive facility at AAA.com/Auto Repair.
