Georgia Gas Price Average Down Slightly
Tuesday, October 29th, 2024
The Georgia gas price average decreased at the pumps compared to a week ago. Georgians pay an average of $2.92 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday's state average is 1 cent less than a week ago, 5 cents less than a month ago, and 6 cents less than last year. It costs drivers an average price of $43.80 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are paying 75 cents less to fill up at the pump than a month ago.
“Georgians can breathe a sigh of relief as their pump prices stand at 21 cents less than the country's average, offering a welcome respite to wallets,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “The dip in crude oil prices, accompanied by a seasonal decline in gasoline demands and the transition to a more budget-friendly winter fuel blend, all contribute to the downward trend of lower gas prices this week.”
