Cheaper Gas Prices expected for Winter

Georgia gas prices are holding steady heading into the Christmas holiday, reports AAA. Georgia motorists are now paying an average price of $2.38 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. Monday’s state average is 1 cent less than a week ago, 4 cents less than last month, and 24 cents more than this time last year.  It now costs $35.70 to fill a 15-gallon tank of gasoline. That is $6.90 less than what motorists paid in May of 2018, when pump prices hit their peak of $2.84 per gallon. AAA reports that as stocks continue to grow, while demand remains robust, pump prices across the nation are likely to hold steady or drop through the week.  The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline is $2.54 per gallon, which is one cent less than last week, 5 cents less than a month ago, and 21 cents more than last year.
