Georgia’s average price for a gallon of regular gasoline fell 10 cents over the past week to $3.48, AAA reported Monday. The Atlanta metro average was $3.51.
Georgia drivers are paying 36 cents less per gallon than a month ago and 68 cents more than a year ago. At the statewide average, 15 gallons of regular gasoline cost $52.20.
Georgia’s motor fuel tax suspension is scheduled to remain in effect through Nov. 30. AAA cautioned that gas prices could change before Thanksgiving.
“Georgia drivers continue to enjoy some of the lowest gas prices in the country, with the state average sitting 54 cents below the national average,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “To get the most value from current pump prices, drivers should compare gas prices, use fuel rewards programs, and combine trips whenever possible.”
The national average fell 15 cents over the past week to $4.02 a gallon, its lowest level since July. AAA said the national average has been above $4 a gallon since July 20.
EV Charging Rates
EV charging rates were hovering around 39 cents per kilowatt hour at commercial DC fast charging stations nationally. In Georgia the average price was 40 cents.
