Georgia drivers are getting some relief at the pump to start the week, with AAA reporting the statewide average for regular unleaded at $2.65 per gallon and the national average at $2.81.

In Northwest Georgia, AAA’s latest local averages show:

• Chattooga County (GA): $2.70

• Walker County (GA): $2.70

• Floyd County (GA): $2.67

• Gordon County (GA): $2.71

Across the state line in Alabama, AAA’s local averages list:

• DeKalb County (AL): $2.56

• Cherokee County (AL): $2.55

AAA says Georgia’s statewide average is 3 cents lower than last week, 16 cents lower than last month, and 25 cents cheaper than this time last year. For a standard 15-gallon fill-up, that’s about $39.75.

Even with global headlines — including renewed attention on Venezuela’s situation — oil prices have remained relatively steady so far. U.S. crude closed at $57.32 a barrel Friday, only 58 cents higher than the week before. Analysts say worldwide supply remains adequate, but caution that any major disruption could still push prices higher with little warning.

In Georgia, the most expensive metro markets are Savannah ($2.76), Macon ($2.72), and Atlanta ($2.67). The least expensive are Gainesville ($2.57), Rome ($2.56), and Catoosa-Dade-Walker ($2.53).
