AAA: GEORGIA’S GAS PRICE AVERAGE DROPPED SLIGHTLY IN THE PAST WEEK

Media release from AAA – The Auto Club Group:

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.”

Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline decreased by 4 cents to $3.13 (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 vs. a credit card. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers with 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!”
