Gas is not expected to cost as much this year in Georgia, according to a 2024 fuel price outlook that looks at current market conditions and speculates on how they may affect fuel prices in the future.

GasBuddy, an app that helps users find cheap fuel in their area, forecasts prices will average $3.10 – $3.41 a gallon in Georgia in 2024 and that gas could fall to below $3 per gallon by the end of the year.

U.S. fuel prices reached record highs in 2022 due to COVID-19 supply issues, near-record inflation, and Russia’s war in Ukraine. The forecast author, Patrick De Haan, GasBuddy’s head of petroleum analysis, said he expects prices will normalize next year, with prices averaging $3.38 a gallon, compared to $3.51 in 2023.

“As 2023 fades away, I’m hopeful those $5 and $6 prices for gasoline and diesel will also fade into memory,” De Haan said in a statement. “The global refining picture continues to improve, providing more capacity and peace of mind that record-setting prices will stay away from the pump this year. 2024 will feature some volatility, unexpected outages and disruptions, and potentially weather-related issues, but I do not expect it to feature record prices — anywhere.”
