Media release from AAA – The Auto Club Group:
The Georgia gas price average remains steady at the pumps compared to a week ago. Georgians pay an average of $2.90 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday’s state average remains the same as a week ago, at 4 cents less than a month ago and 15 cents less than this time last year. It costs drivers an average price of $43.50 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline.
“Georgia gas prices saw minimal or no change at the pumps across the state,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Crude oil prices fell by more than 1% last Friday. With the Thanksgiving travel now in our rearview mirror, it appears that gas prices are steadfastly continuing their gradual descent.”
Nationally:
Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline decreased by 4 cents to $3.01 (subject to change overnight). It has been less than a dime away from $3 for over a month as the waffling decline has been agonizingly slow. The last time the national average was below $3 was May 11, 2021. According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand rose slightly from 8.50 million barrels a day last week to 8.73. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose slightly from 212.2 million barrels to 214.6, while gasoline production decreased last week, averaging 9.5 million barrels per day.
Regional Prices:
The most expensive Georgia metro markets – are Savannah ($2.97), Atlanta ($2.92), and Macon ($2.91).
The least expensive Georgia metro markets – are Albany ($2.81), Dalton ($2.79), and Catoosa-Dade-Walker ($2.75).
