Georgia Pump Prices continue to Drop

Gas prices in Georgia continue to decline. According to the latest figures from AAA, Georgia motorists are now paying an average price of $2.61 per gallon for regular unleaded. Monday’s state average was 4 cents less than a week ago, 9 cents more than this time last month, and 11 cents less than this time last year.  It now costs $39.15 to fill a 15-gallon tank of gasoline. That is $2.85 less than what motorists paid last May, when pump prices hit their 2018 peak of $2.84 per gallon. Gasoline stocks remain robust amid a recent dip in demand, which could be one reason we are seeing Georgia pump prices decline, reports AAA. Lower than usual demand has also helped to push pump prices down. Additionally, total domestic stocks of gas fell slightly. If stocks continue to drop amid low demand, pump prices will likely continue to decline moving into next week.  AAA updates fuel price averages daily at www.GasPrices.AAA.com.
