Georgia drivers are closing out the year with a welcome break at the pump as gas prices fell again this week. As of Monday, the statewide average has dropped to $2.68 per gallon, though minor day-to-day fluctuations are still expected.
Compared to recent benchmarks:
- It’s 6 cents lower than last week
- 15 cents lower than last month
- 21 cents lower than this time last year
For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank, the cost now comes to approximately $40.20.
Local averages on Monday were $2.56 in Floyd County, $2.61 in both Gordon and Bartow Counties, $2.62 in Chattooga County, and $2.65 in Polk County.
A Cheaper Start Ahead: National Gas Prices Fall Below Last Year’s Levels
This holiday season continues to bring welcome relief at the pump, with gas prices dipping even as a record number of travelers hit the road. The national average has fallen 3 cents this week to $2.82, the cheapest December since 2020. Crude oil remains low, and despite heavy holiday demand, gasoline supplies are steady.
After a year of unusually stable fuel costs, drivers are heading into the new year with a real advantage: more predictable, budget-friendly travel as millions continue taking to the roads in record numbers.
