The average gas price in Georgia increased at the pumps compared to a week ago. Georgians now pay an average price of $3.04 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline, which can change overnight. Monday’s state average is 10 cents higher than it was a week ago, 12 cents higher than it was a month ago, and 29 cents lower than this time last year. It costs drivers an average of $45.60 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.
“We were kind of expecting gas prices to rise in April since that’s when refineries do their tune-ups, which typically bump up the cost at the pump,” said Montrae Waiters, a spokeswoman for AAA-The Auto Club Group. However, there is also an unpredictable atmosphere surrounding tariffs and their impact on the global stage, which may push those prices even higher.”
Local averages on Monday were $3.01 in Floyd County, $3.02 in Chattooga County, $3.03 in Polk County, $3.06 in Gordon County, and $3.09 in Bartow County.
Nationally
Another Week of Rising Gas Prices
Since last Monday, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline has increased by 10 cents to $3.25, subject to change overnight. Gas prices experienced a significant increase this past week. Several factors are driving growth, including refinery maintenance and the switch to summer-blend gasoline. The last time the national average reached $3.26 was in September, consistent with seasonal trends; however, current prices remain below those of this time last year.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand decreased from 8.64 barrels per day last week to 8.49 barrels per day. The total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 239.1 million barrels to 237.6 million barrels. Gasoline production increased last week, averaging 9.3 million barrels per day.
