The Georgia gas price average is cooling off slowly at the pumps as the weather turns cold. Georgians pay an average of $2.90 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday’s state average was 3 cents less than a week ago, 5 cents less than a month ago, and 5 cents less than last year.  It costs drivers an average price of $43.50 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are paying almost $1 less to fill up at the pump than a month ago.

“Hopefully, gas prices in Georgia stay low, which will be a sweet deal for drivers hitting the road this Christmas. Mild gasoline demand, steady supply, and low oil costs have contributed to pump prices sliding further,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “As for guessing when those gas prices will reverse course. Well, that’s still anyone’s call.”

Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has held steady at $3.05 (subject to change overnight).
