Georgia Pump Prices decline 3 Cents

Georgia gas prices declined at the pump compared to a week ago, reports AAA. Georgia motorists are now paying an average price of $2.39 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. Monday’s state average is 3 cents less than a week ago, 3 cents less than last month, and 21 cents more than this time last year.  It now costs $35.85 to fill a 15-gallon tank of gasoline. That is $6.75 less than what motorists paid in May of 2018, when pump prices hit their peak of $2.84 per gallon. As stocks continue to grow, while demand decreases, pump prices across the nation are likely to continue seeing downward pressure through this week, says AAA.  The national average price for regular unleaded gasoline is $2.55 per gallon, which is 2 cents less than last week, 5 cents less than a month ago, and 17 cents more than a year ago. The year-over-year difference is due to higher crude prices this winter over last.
