Georgians are continuing to see a welcome decrease in gasoline prices, with the state’s average for regular unleaded falling to $2.90 per gallon. This marks a 4-cent drop compared to just a week ago, offering fresh relief at the pump for motorists.

The current state average, calculated on Monday, stands at $2.90. While this is 4 cents lower than last week’s figures, it is 2 cents higher than the average price a month ago. However, the most significant savings come when comparing to a year ago, with prices currently 42 cents lower than they were at this time last year.

For the average driver, this translates to tangible savings. Filling a standard 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline now costs approximately $43.50. This is nearly $7.00 less than what motorists were paying to fill the same tank just one year ago.

Nationally, the trend of decreasing prices is also evident. The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline across the U.S. has similarly decreased by 4 cents since last Monday, now standing at $3.14. This places Georgia’s average well below the national average, providing an additional benefit for drivers within the state.

It’s important to note that these prices are subject to change overnight as market conditions fluctuate.
