Gas prices going down

The cost of a gallon of gas could drop below three dollars by early next year.

ATLANTA - It seems like everything is going up in price lately, but that is not the case with gas prices. Prices at the pump appear to be dropping.

The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas in Georgia has dropped by a little more than 11 cents the past month and about 4 cents in the last week, according to AAA. The current average is just under $3.15.

That is a little more than 18 cents below the national average.

In Atlanta, the average is about 3 cents more and in Athens, it’s 4 cents over the average. But similar drops in prices have been seen.

Gas price dropping for the holidays

The AAA said gas prices could significantly drop in time for Christmas.

Columbus’ average is about $3.05, Dalton is at $3.11, Gainesville is at $3.12, and Rome is $3.08.

AAA said the cheapest market for gas in Georgia is in Warner Robins at $2.98 and the most expensive is Hinesville-Fort Stewart at $3.22.

Some experts believe the average price for gas in Georgia could continue to drop below $3 before the end of the year.
