The Georgia gas price average decreased at the pumps compared to a week ago. Georgians pay an average of $2.93 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday’s state average is 1 cent less than a week ago, 21 cents more than a month ago, and 6 cents more than this time last year. It costs drivers an average price of $43.95 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline.
“As Hurricane Rafael approaches, the looming storm halts gas prices in their tracks while oil operations brace for a possible impact,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Hopefully, once the storm passes, we will start to see pump prices sliding back down.”
Nationally:
Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline decreased by 2 cents to $3.08 (subject to change overnight). The threat of a rare hurricane in November churning in the gulf caused gas prices to slow at the pumps. According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand slid from 9.15 million barrels a day last week to 8.82. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose from 210.9 million barrels to 211.3, while gasoline production increased last week, averaging 9.7 million barrels daily.

AAA encourages drivers to use the money-saving gas tips listed below.
Money-Saving Tips for Drivers
- Shop around for gas prices. Drivers can check area gas prices on the Fuel Price Finder.
- Consider paying in cash vs. a credit card. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers with a credit card.

Fuel-Saving Tips for Drivers
- Maintain your vehicle to ensure the best fuel economy. Find a trusted automotive facility at AAA.com/Auto Repair.
- Combine errands to limit driving time.
- Slow down. Fuel economy diminishes significantly at highway speeds above 50 mph. Drive conservatively and avoid aggressive driving. Aggressive acceleration and speeding reduce fuel economy.
Traffic Safety Tip: AAA-The Auto Club Group “Move Over For Me” Campaign
“Drivers, if you see a disabled vehicle on the roadside while traveling, be courteous and Move Over,” said Waiters. “Remember, the person who broke down could be you, a friend, a family member, a coworker, or a neighbor. Move Over for the safety of others and because it is the right thing to do!”
