Georgia gas price average increased at the pump compared to a week ago. Georgia drivers are now paying an average price of $3.26 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight).
Monday’s state average is 6 cents more than a week ago, 1 cent less than a month ago, and 94 cents less than this time last year. It now costs an average of $48.90 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Drivers are now paying $14.10 less to fill up at the pump compared to a year ago. The national average for a regular gallon of gasoline has remained stagnated since last Monday. It continues to hold steady at $3.53 compared to a week ago (subject to change overnight).
“Georgia pump prices increased after the 4th of July holiday,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Most likely due to higher demand amid decreasing supply. However, this could be more of a glitch than a trend, and demand may retreat once the holiday is further in the rearview mirror.”

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!”
