Georgia drivers are seeing some relief at the pump as gas prices continue to fall across the state.

According to AAA, Georgia’s average price for regular gasoline is now $3.85 per gallon. That is 14 cents lower than last week, but still 10 cents higher than last month and 96 cents higher than this time last year.

AAA spokeswoman Montrae Waiters said lower crude oil prices, tied in part to reported Iran peace talks, are helping bring prices down. However, she cautioned that global uncertainty could cause prices to shift quickly.

For drivers filling up a standard 15-gallon tank, the current state average means a cost of about $57.75.

Nationally, the average price for gasoline has dropped to $4.33 per gallon, down 18 cents from a week ago.

In Georgia, the most expensive metro markets are Macon at $3.94, Atlanta at $3.90, and Athens at $3.87. The least expensive metro markets are Dalton at $3.71, Albany at $3.63, and Brunswick at $3.60.

Locally, Chattooga County is averaging $3.78 per gallon. Nearby averages include Walker, Floyd, and Gordon counties at $3.72. Across the state line in Alabama, DeKalb County is averaging $3.93, while Cherokee County is at $3.88.

Drivers are encouraged to compare prices, plan trips, combine errands, and use fuel-saving habits as summer travel increases.
