Georgia drivers are getting some relief as gas prices continue to slip.
Cheaper winter fuel and strong local supply pushed the state average down to $2.64 per gallon on Monday, even while national prices edged up due to refinery problems and global market swings.
Small day-to-day changes are still possible.
Compared to recent benchmarks:
- It’s 2 cents lower than last week
- 12 cents lower than last month
- 32 cents lower than this time last year
For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank, the cost now comes to approximately $39.60.
Local averages on Monday, according to AAA, were $2.52 in Floyd and Bartow Counties, and $2.58 in Gordon, Chattooga, and Polk Counties.
Drivers See National Gas Prices Increase
The national average inched up to $2.82 a gallon this week, though prices remain well below last year’s $3.12. January usually brings cheaper pump prices thanks to lower demand and winter‑blend gasoline. Crude oil costs are also staying low, even as markets watch rising tensions in Iran, a major OPEC producer whose supply disruptions could influence prices in the U.S.
