Georgia Gas Prices inch Higher

Demand for gasoline is up in Georgia thanks to the slow reopening of the economy and that means that prices have also inched up, reports AAA.  Georgia motorists are now paying $1.66 per gallon on average for regular unleaded gasoline. Monday’s state average is 2-cents more than a week ago, 2-cents less than last month, and 99-cents less than this time last year.  It now costs motorists $24.90 to fill a 15-gallon tank of gasoline, which is $16.20 less than what motorists paid in April 2019 when pump prices hit their peak of $2.74 per gallon.  Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has increased by 4 cents to $1.88.
