Media release from AAA – The Auto Club Group:
The Georgia gas price average has reversed its downward trend. Drivers now pay an average of $2.90 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday’s state average is 1 cent more than a week ago, 1 cent less than a month ago, and 7 cents less than last year. It costs drivers an average price of $43.50 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians now pay a little over $1.00 less to fill up at the pump than a year ago.
“Gas prices in Georgia have been nudging up since we rang in the New Year,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “The main culprit appears to be a higher price for crude oil, which moved to the mid-$70s.”
Regional Prices:
The most expensive Georgia metro markets – are Savannah ($2.97), Atlanta ($2.93), and Macon ($2.92).
The least expensive Georgia metro markets – are Albany ($2.81), Dalton ($2.79), and Catoosa-Dade-Walker ($2.75).

Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has increased by 4 cents to $3.06 (subject to change overnight).

AAA encourages drivers to use the money-saving gas tips listed below.
Money-Saving Tips for Drivers
- Shop around for gas prices. Drivers can check area gas prices on the Fuel Price Finder.
- Consider paying in cash instead of using a credit card. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who use a credit card.
- Enroll in fuel savings programs.
Fuel-Saving Tips for Drivers
- Maintain your vehicle to ensure the best fuel economy. Find a trusted automotive facility at AAA.com/Auto Repair.
- Combine errands to limit driving time.
- Slow down. Fuel economy diminishes significantly at highway speeds above 50 mph. Drive conservatively and avoid aggressive driving. Aggressive acceleration and speeding reduce fuel economy.
Traffic Safety Tip: AAA-The Auto Club Group “Move Over For Me” Campaign
“Drivers, if you see a disabled vehicle on the roadside while traveling, be courteous and Move Over,” said Waiters. “Remember, the person who broke down could be you, a friend, a family member, a coworker, or a neighbor. Move Over for the safety of others and because it is the right thing to do!”
