According to AAA’s weekly report, gasoline prices in Georgia have continued to drop over the past week, reaching an average cost of $3.26 per gallon for regular unleaded.
This represents a modest two-cent drop over the week but is 12 cents less than a month ago.
“Slack demand, rising supply, and low crude oil prices continue to chip away at gas prices,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “If gas demand remains weak, drivers will likely continue to see pump prices trickle downward this week.”
