Georgia Gas Prices Drop Amid Cold Snap

Gas prices in Georgia eased over the weekend, supported by strong in‑state fuel supplies and softer regional demand, even as the national average moved higher. As of Monday, the statewide average has dropped to $2.66 per gallon, though minor day‑to‑day fluctuations are still expected.

Compared to recent benchmarks:

• It's 4 cents lower than last week
• 1 cent lower than last month
• 27 cents lower than this time last year

For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank, the cost now comes to approximately $39.90.

Winter Storm Impacts Reflected in National Fuel Prices

The winter storm that hit much of the country disrupted fuel supplies and pushed the national average for regular gas up to $2.87. Freezing temperatures slowed crude production and refinery operations, and demand jumped as drivers filled up ahead of the storm. Prices have risen over the past week, but the national average remains below the $3.10 seen at this time last year.

Regional Prices:

Atlanta- $2.67

The most expensive metro markets in Georgia are Hinesville-Fort Stewart ($2.79), Savannah ($2.78), and Macon ($2.69).

The least expensive metro markets in Georgia are Augusta-Aiken ($2.59), Catoosa-Dade-Walker ($2.55), and Rome ($2.53).

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 instead of using a credit card. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who use 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 minimize driving time.
• Slow down. Fuel economy diminishes significantly at highway speeds above 50 mph. Drive conservatively and avoid aggressive driving. Aggressive acceleration and speeding can reduce fuel economy.
