Price of gas continues to rise in Georgia

Motorists take advantage of a July 2024 promotion sponsored by Americans for Prosperity-Georgia. As part of the promotion, the group lowered gas prices at a Chevron in Dunwoody temporarily to $2.389 per gallon of regular unleaded gas, which the group said was the national average price per gallon in January 2021.

The average price of gas in Georgia continues to rise.

According to AAA-The Auto Club Group, Georgians pay an average of $2.94 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline. Monday’s state average is 2 cents more than a week ago, the same price as a month ago, and 2 cents more than last year.

“Georgians may have noticed a slight bump in gas prices since Governor [Brian] Kemp brought back the state’s gas tax,” Montrae Waiters, an AAA spokeswoman, said in a statement. “But don’t worry, things may be improving. We’re expecting prices to dip soon, thanks to the usual drop in demand around this time of year and a switch to the cheaper winter fuel mix.”
