The Georgia gas price average continues to decline at the pumps compared to a week ago. Georgians now pay an average price of $2.90 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday’s state average is 4 cents less than a week ago, 4 cents less than a month ago, and 30 cents less than last year. It costs drivers an average of $43.50 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are paying almost $5.00 less to fill up at the pump than a year ago.
“The drop in gas prices over the weekend was a welcome relief to Georgians,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Crude oil prices, which play a key role in determining what consumers pay at the pump, continue to fluctuate. If crude remains low, gas prices will typically do the same. However, an uptick in demand nearing spring break travel may cause gas prices to rise.”
Local averages on Monday were $2.81 in Floyd County, $2.82 in Gordon County, $2.83 in Chattooga County, $2.84 in Polk County, and $2.87 in Bartow County.
Nationally
Gas Prices Shift Into Neutral Thanks To Lower Cost of Oil
Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has decreased by 1 cent to $3.08 (subject to change overnight). This drop is due in part to softer oil prices. Some drivers could see fluctuations at the pump due to markets and retailers reacting to news of tariffs and the transition to summer-grade gasoline, which is more expensive to produce.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand increased from 8.45 barrels a day last week to 8.87. The total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 248.3 million barrels to 246.8. Gasoline production increased, averaging 9.6 million barrels per day.

The EIA reports that crude oil inventories increased by 3.6 million barrels from the previous week. At 433.8 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 4% below the five-year average for this time of year.
