Media release from AAA – The Auto Club Group:
The Georgia gas price average remains steadfast, holding its ground at the fuel stations, unchanged from the previous week. Georgians pay an average of $2.93 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). It costs drivers an average price of $43.95 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline.
“Despite yet another week of slow demand at the pump, it seems Georgia’s gas prices remained stubbornly unmoved,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “AAA projects that more than 2.1 million Georgians will take a road trip for the Thanksgiving holiday. Our state remains under $3, so hitting the road for a getaway will be pleasing to the wallet of most drivers. However, price fluctuations remain possible, as record holiday travel volume could put pressure on fuel demand this week.”
Nationally:
Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline decreased by 2 cents to $3.05 (subject to change overnight). According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand plunged from 9.38 million barrels a day last week to 8.41. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose slightly from 206.9 million barrels to 208.9, while gasoline production decreased last week, averaging 9.3 million barrels daily.
