Georgia drivers could soon feel the effects of Hurricane Ida, in the form of higher gas prices.

The average price for gasoline in Georgia is $2.95 per gallon, according to AAA. The average price has slightly decreased in recent weeks, down from $2.96 reported a month ago.

A week ago, it appeared that prices were poised to decline even further, after futures prices plummeted, in response to the spread of Covid-19. However, futures prices rebounded last week, due to concerns about what the storm could do to the Gulf Coast fuel supply chain.

Refineries in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Alabama account for more than 45 percent of the nation’s capacity for refining crude oil into gasoline and other important products.

Area gas price averages: Chattooga ($2.81), Floyd ($2.90), Walker ($2.80), Gordon ($2.88), DeKalb, AL ($2.78), Cherokee, AL ($2.72).
