Gas prices decreased at the pump compared to a week ago. Georgians are paying an average price of $3.41 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday’s state average was 5 cents less than a week ago, 1 cent less than a month ago, and 15 cents more than this time last year. It costs drivers an average price of $51.15 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are now paying over $2.00 more to fill up at the pump compared to a year ago.
“Crude oil continues to trend under $80 a barrel, and demand appears to have slowed down, contributing to lower pump prices,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “AAA is set to reveal, on May 14th, how busy the roads in Georgia will be during the Memorial Day weekend. So stay tuned!”
