Georgia gas prices continue dropping closer to $4 a gallon

ATLANTA - Georgia gas prices keep going lower, with cost at the pump dropping more than 10 cents compared to a week ago.

According to AAA, drivers in the Peach State are now paying an average of $4.19 for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline.

That price is about a cent less than Sunday's cost, 13 cents less than a week ago, and 24 cents less than in June. It's still, however,  about $1.26 more than the same time in 2021.

In total, it now costs drivers $62.85 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline - an increase of $18.90 at the pump compared to last year.

While prices remain high, Georgia still has lower costs compared to the national average of around $4.68 a gallon.

GEORGIA GAS PRICES COULD DROP BELOW $4 IN COMING WEEKS

"Georgia pump prices are drifting lower as crude oil continues to decline," AAA spokeswoman Montrae Waiters said. "So far, the decrease in crude prices have had a noticeable impact at the pump, but if crude prices rise this week consumers could see an increase in gas at their local stations."
