Gas prices continue to fall with local averages below $3.00 a gallon.  Statewide, Georgia drivers are seeing an average price at the pump of $2.87, according to GasBuddy. “While the national average didn’t fall quite as far as anticipated for Memorial Day, it was still one of the most affordable since 2021— and, when adjusted for inflation, among the cheapest in nearly a decade,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said. De Haan said he expected prices to stay stable through the summer and that he did not foresee prices dropping far below a $3 average for now.  Locally, gas is averaging $2.76 per gallon in Chattooga County.  That compares to $2.82 in Floyd County and $2.81 in Walker County.  Gordon County’s average was $2.86 per gallon as of Wednesday.  Across the state line in Alabama, gas was even lower at $2.73 per gallon in DeKalb County and Cherokee Counties.
