Georgia gas price averages trends lower ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Chattooga County has one of the lowest gas price averages in the state.

Georgia drivers are now paying an average price of $3.11 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday’s state average was 6 cents less than a week ago, 12 cents less than a month ago, and 13 cents less than this time last year. It now costs $46.65 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Drivers are now paying almost $2.00 less to fill-up at the pump compared to last month.

“The over 1.5 million Georgians hitting the road for Thanksgiving will find pump prices less expensive compared to last year,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “When it comes time to fill-up during the trip, drivers should keep in mind that gas stations along highly traveled routes may find prices more expensive. AAA recommends drivers download the free AAA Mobile app to find the lowest gas prices in their area.”

National Average Trends Downward

Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has decreased by 10 cents to $3.67 (subject to change overnight). According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand decreased from 9.01 million barrels a day to 8.74 million barrels a day last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose by nearly 2.2 million barrels to 207.9 million barrels. Increasing supply and falling gasoline demand have contributed to pushing pump prices lower. As demand remains low and stocks grow, drivers will likely continue to see pump prices decline ahead of Thanksgiving.
