Georgia gas prices increased at the pump compared to a week ago. Drivers are paying an average price of $3.33 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday’s state average was 1 cent more than a week ago, 1 cent less than a month ago, and 3 cents more than this time last year. It costs drivers an average price of $49.95 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are now paying 45 cents less to fill up at the pump compared to a year ago.

“Pump fees typically hike during spring, due to high demand and pricier summer fuel blends,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “However, rising crude oil prices and declining inventories may signal higher gas prices for drivers in the coming weeks. AAA continues to encourage drivers to follow the money-saving gas tips listed below.”
