The Georgia gas price average is trending downward, offering drivers a modest reprieve.
Georgians now pay an average price of $2.89 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline, which can change overnight.
Monday’s state average is 2 cents lower than it was a week ago, 3 cents lower than it was a month ago, and 8 cents lower than it was a year ago.
It costs drivers an average of $43.35 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are paying almost $2.00 less to fill up at the pump than a year ago.
“With cooler weather and lower demand, gas prices are starting to ease,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “This is thanks to plenty of crude oil and the switch to winter-blend gasoline, which is cheaper to make and helps keep costs down as the weather cools.”
Local averages on Monday were $2.77 in Floyd County, $2.75 in Bartow County, $2.79 in Chattooga County, $2.83 in Gordon County, and $2.84 in Polk County.
Nationally: Seasonal Shifts Cool Gas Demand
Drivers are getting good news at the pump as the national average price ticks down. Since last Monday, it has eased to $3.17, though slight shifts may occur overnight. There remains an abundance of crude oil supply, which outweighs demand. The seasonal transition to winter-blend gasoline – which is cheaper to produce – is also beginning. While the national average has been relatively stable, drivers in the Pacific Northwest are feeling pain at the pump. Gas prices in the area have jumped more than 20 cents in the past week due to the shutdown of a major pipeline that transports fuel from Washington to Oregon. The pipeline is reportedly expected to resume operations in a few days.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand decreased from 9.11 million barrels a day last week to 8.50 million. Total domestic gasoline supply increased from 218.5 million barrels to 220 million. Gasoline production decreased, averaging 9.6 million barrels per day.
