Rabun’s gas prices on the decline

Although Rabun County is notorious for having some of Georgia’s highest gas prices, motorists will be happy to know that prices are finally on the decline.

According to information from Garrett Townsend, Georgia Public Affairs Director AAA, gas prices are being pushed lower due to seasonal demand, winter-blend fuel, and falling crude prices.

As motorists settle into the fall driving season, which will likely decrease demand for cheaper-to-produce winter-blend gasoline, pump prices will likely continue to decline into next week.

“Motorists are enjoying a discount at the pump,” said Townsend. “Gas prices have been pushed lower by oil prices and gasoline supplies. Current market fundaments show that drivers could see another 10-15 cent drop in the price of gas over the next few weeks.”
