ATLANTA — The Georgia gas price average remained unchanged from a week ago.
According to AAA-The Auto Club Group, Georgians pay an average of $2.93 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline decreased by 2 cents to $3.05.
“Despite yet another week of slow demand at the pump, it seems Georgia’s gas prices remained stubbornly unmoved,” Montrae Waiters, a AAA spokeswoman, said in a release. “AAA projects that more than 2.1 million Georgians will take a road trip for the Thanksgiving holiday. Our state remains under $3, so hitting the road for a getaway will be pleasing to the wallet of most drivers. However, price fluctuations remain possible, as record holiday travel volume could put pressure on fuel demand this week.”
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration, gasoline demand plunged from 9.38 million barrels a day last week to 8.41. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose slightly from 206.9 million barrels to 208.9, while gasoline production decreased last week, averaging 9.3 million barrels daily.
