Gasoline demand, and with it the prices at the pump, are likely to drop due to both COVID and the usual seasonal drop at the end of the vacation months. But the change over the past week has been minimal.

According to the weekly press release from Montrae Waiters the spokeswoman from AAA – The Auto Club Group, Georgia drivers are now paying an average of $2.96 per gallon.

“Georgia gas prices saw minimal or no change at the pumps across the state,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman AAA-The Auto Club Group. “We anticipate demand will continue to decline in the weeks ahead as drivers traditionally take fewer road trips towards the end of summer and the rise of coronavirus infections.”

Area gas price averages:  Chattooga ($2.83), Walker ($2.80), Floyd ($2.91), Gordon ($2.94), DeKalb, AL ($2.81), Cherokee, AL ($2.73).
