The Georgia gas price average rose this week but remains under $3 for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline.
Georgians pay an average of $2.97 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. Monday’s state average is 3 cents more than a week ago, 19 cents less than a month ago, and 29 cents less than last year.
It costs drivers an average price of $44.55 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are paying almost $3.00 less to fill up at the pump than a month ago.
“Fuel costs were on a downhill slide, yet the anticipation of Hurricane Helene seemed to stir the waters,” Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman, said in a release. “Prices at the pump ticked up a bit since everyone was eyeing Helene; however, the good news is that it missed the refineries in the Gulf. So hopefully, any impact on Georgia’s gas price average will be fleeting.”
