Georgia gas prices are holding steady as we head into the holiday weekend.
Georgians are paying an average of $2.93 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline, which is unchanged from last week.
It costs drivers an average price of $43.95 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline.
“Despite yet another week of slow demand at the pump, it seems Georgia’s gas prices remained stubbornly unmoved,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “AAA projects that more than 2.1 million Georgians will take a road trip for the Thanksgiving holiday. Our state remains under $3, so hitting the road for a getaway will be pleasing to the wallet of most drivers. However, price fluctuations remain possible, as record holiday travel volume could put pressure on fuel demand this week.”
Local averages on Monday were $2.86 in Floyd County, $2.83 in Gordon County, $2.91 in Polk County, and $2.93 in Bartow County. Chattooga County had the lowest average at $2.77 a gallon.
Nationally
Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline decreased by 2 cents to $3.05 (subject to change overnight). According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand plunged from 9.38 million barrels a day last week to 8.41. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose slightly from 206.9 million barrels to 208.9, while gasoline production decreased last week, averaging 9.3 million barrels daily.
