Media release from AAA – The Auto Club Group:
ATLANTA (November 9, 2026) Georgia drivers are getting additional relief at the pump as gas prices continue to decline. With the state’s temporary motor fuel tax suspension remaining in effect through November 30, drivers continue to see savings ahead of the Thanksgiving travel season. However, drivers should be aware that market conditions can change quickly, and today’s lower prices may not hold through the holiday period. Georgia’s average gas price currently stands at $3.48 per gallon, subject to overnight market fluctuations.
“Georgia drivers continue to enjoy some of the lowest gas prices in the country, with the state average sitting 54 cents below the national average,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “To get the most value from current pump prices, drivers should compare gas prices, use fuel rewards programs, and combine trips whenever possible.”
Compared to recent benchmarks:
- 10 cents lower than last week
- 36 cents lower than last month
- 68 cents higher than last year
For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline, the cost is approximately $52.20.
National Gas Price Average Hits Lowest Level Since July
The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline dropped 15 cents this week to $4.02, marking its lowest level since July and bringing pump prices closer to falling below the $4 threshold for the first time in nearly four months. While the recent decline is welcome news for drivers, the national average has remained above $4 per gallon since July 20, making it one of the longest stretches of elevated gas prices on record. Despite the recent relief, 2026 has already produced some of the highest monthly gas price averages ever recorded.
