Georgia Pump Price unchanged as National Average increases

AAA reports that Georgia gas prices remained the same at the pump compared to a week ago. Georgia motorists are paying an average price of $2.91 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. Monday’s state average is the same as a week ago, the same as last month, and 93 cents more than this time last year.  It costs Georgia motorists $43.65 to fill a 15-gallon tank of gasoline; that is $6.75 more than what motorists paid in January of 2020 when pump prices hit their peak of $2.46 per gallon.  The national gas price average has increased 40% since the start of the year, from $2.25 on January 1, to $3.13 on July 7.  Moreover, it is not stopping there. Motorists can expect gas prices to increase another 10–20 cents through the end of August, bringing the national average well over $3.25 this summer.
