-AAA South-
The Georgia gas price average is quietly edging higher, reminding drivers that even small increases can add up at the pump.
Georgians now pay an average price of $2.89 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline, which can change overnight.
As of Monday, the state average is 2 cents higher than it was a week ago, 2 cents lower than it was a month ago, and 12 cents higher than it was a year ago.
For Georgia drivers, filling up a standard 15-gallon gas tank now costs approximately $43.35, about 30 cents less than it did a month ago.
“Gas prices in Georgia crept up slowly over the weekend, largely due to a slight increase in crude oil,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA-The Auto Club Group. “We encourage drivers to stay fuel-efficient and keep an eye on pump prices using AAA’s daily fuel price tool.”
Local averages on Monday were $2.78 in Floyd County, $2.79 in Chattooga County, $2.83 in Gordon County, $2.86 in Bartow County, and $2.87 in Polk County.
No Major Swings: U.S. Pump Prices Flat as October Begins
October kicks off with steady gas prices; the national average for a gallon of regular remains at $3.13, unchanged from last week, though it could shift overnight. This steadiness comes as demand softens and gas stations transition to winter-blend fuel, which is less expensive to produce. Crude oil supply continues to be robust, with OPEC+ expected to announce another production increase for November. Combined with seasonal refinery maintenance and weaker consumer demand, these factors are helping keep prices in check across much of the country.
Meanwhile, in Georgia, prices inched up a bit this week, driven by rising crude oil costs and global tensions. These factors are putting pressure on local fuel prices, even as the national average stays steady.
