Georgia Gas Prices increase at the Pump

Georgia gas prices increased 3 cents at the pump compared to a week ago, reports AAA. Georgia motorists are now paying an average price of $2.43 per gallon for regular unleaded. Monday’s state average is 3 cents more than a week ago, 9 cents less than this time last month, and 21 cents less than this time last year.  It now costs $36.45 to fill a 15-gallon tank of gasoline. That is $6.15 less than what motorists paid in May of 2018 when pump prices hit their peak of $2.84 per gallon. AAA reports that last week, more than half of all states saw gas prices decrease and due to ongoing maintenance and tighter gasoline supply, motorists can expect fluctuations at the pump likely through the end of the week.  The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline is $2.61 per gallon, which is the same price as last week, 4 cents less than a month ago, and 17 cents less than a year ago.
