Drivers across Georgia are seeing little change at the pump this week, with the statewide average for regular gasoline holding at $3.62 per gallon.
According to AAA, Georgia’s average is up 1 cent from last week, 1 cent higher than a month ago, and 71 cents higher than this time last year. Filling a standard 15-gallon tank now costs about $54.30.
AAA spokeswoman Montrae Waiters said continued global tensions and supply concerns are keeping oil prices elevated, which could put more pressure on fuel costs in the days ahead.
Nationally, the average price for regular gasoline rose 5 cents to $4.09 per gallon. Crude oil prices remain high, with West Texas Intermediate trading in the mid-$90s per barrel as international tensions continue to affect the market.
AAA also reports the national average price for electricity at public EV charging stations dropped by 1 cent this week to 40 cents per kilowatt hour.
In Georgia, the most expensive metro markets are Valdosta at $3.69, Atlanta at $3.64, and Gainesville at $3.60. The least expensive are Albany at $3.50, Hinesville-Fort Stewart at $3.48, and Dalton at $3.45.
Local averages include Chattooga, Walker, and Floyd counties at $3.57, Gordon County at $3.59, DeKalb County, Alabama at $3.75, and Cherokee County, Alabama at $3.64.
