(Media release from AAA – The Auto Club Group):
The Georgia gas price average remains steady at the pump. Georgians are paying an average price of $3.36 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday’s state average remains the same as a week ago, is 10 cents less than a month ago, and 7 cents more than this time last year. It costs drivers an average price of $50.40 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are now paying almost $2.00 less to fill up at the pump compared to a month ago.
“Georgia gas prices saw minimal or no change at the pumps across the state,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “With the Memorial Day travel weekend now in our rearview mirror, it appears that gas prices are steadfastly continuing their gradual descent. But heads up, June 1st kicked off the Atlantic Hurricane season and it’s going to be a busy one. If a storm hits the Gulf Coast, where lots of oil is produced and refined, we could see a spike in prices.”
AAA continues to encourage drivers to take advantage of the money-saving gas tips listed below.
Nationally:
Pump Prices Keep Sliding as the Atlantic Hurricane Season Looms
Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has decreased by 6 cents to $3.53 (subject to change overnight). The primary reasons are tepid demand and a lower oil price. According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand fell slightly from 9.31 barrels a day to 9.14 last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose from 226.8 to 228.8 million barrels. Lower gasoline demand, increasing supply, and falling oil costs could lead to pump price decreases.
Regional Prices:
The most expensive Georgia metro markets – are Savannah ($3.46), Hinesville-Fort Stewart ($3.40), and Atlanta ($3.38).
The least expensive Georgia metro markets – are Rome ($3.27), Dalton ($3.24), and Catoosa-Dade-Walker ($3.16).
