-AAA South-
While extreme cold settles across Georgia, drivers are seeing a bit of relief where it matters, at the pump as the state’s average gas price moved lower this week. As of Monday, the statewide average sits at $2.76 per gallon, though daily price changes remain possible.
“It may be freezing outside, but at least filling up the tank doesn’t sting quite as much right now,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA-The Auto Club Group. “With oil supplies high and demand easing, gas prices are sliding and expected to stay low through the holidays.”
Compared to recent benchmarks:
- It’s 3 cents lower than last week
- 6 cents lower than last month
- 15 cents lower than this time last year
For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank, the cost now comes to approximately $41.40.
Local averages on Monday, according to AAA, were $2.67 in Floyd County, $2.68 in Bartow County, $2.70 in Chattooga County, $2.72 in Gordon County, and $2.73 in Polk County.
Nationally: Winter Chill Brings a Warm Surprise at the Pump
This holiday season, drivers are unwrapping a welcome gift at the gas pump: prices have dipped 4 cents to $2.91. The drop is fueled by lower crude oil costs, weaker demand, and the switch to cheaper winter-blend gasoline, factors working together to keep prices down.
