Georgia Gas Price Average Cooling at the Pumps

The Georgia gas price average cools off slowly at the pumps as the weather turns cold. Georgians pay an average of $2.90 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday's state average is 3 cents less than a week ago, 5 cents less than a month ago, and 5 cents less than last year.  It costs drivers an average price of $43.50 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are paying almost $1 less to fill up at the pump than a month ago.

“Hopefully, gas prices in Georgia stay low, which will be a sweet deal for drivers hitting the road this Christmas. Mild gasoline demand, steady supply, and low oil costs have contributed to pump prices sliding further,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “As for guessing when those gas prices will reverse course. Well, that's still anyone's call.”

Nationally:

Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has held steady at $3.05 (subject to change overnight).

AAA encourages drivers to use the money-saving gas tips listed below.

Money-Saving Tips for Drivers

• Shop around for gas prices. Drivers can check area gas prices on the Fuel Price Finder.
• Consider paying in cash vs. a credit card. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers with a credit card.
• Enroll in fuel savings programs.

Fuel-Saving Tips for Drivers

• Maintain your vehicle to ensure the best fuel economy. Find a trusted automotive facility at AAA.com/Auto Repair.
• Combine errands to limit driving time.
• Slow down. Fuel economy diminishes significantly at highway speeds above 50 mph. Drive conservatively and avoid aggressive driving. Aggressive acceleration and speeding reduce fuel economy.

Traffic Safety Tip: AAA-The Auto Club Group “Move Over For Me” Campaign

“Drivers, if you see a disabled vehicle on the roadside while traveling, be courteous and Move Over,” said Waiters. “Remember, the person who broke down could be you, a friend, a family member, a coworker, or a neighbor. Move Over for the safety of others and because it is the right thing to do!”
