Gas prices remain relatively steady in GA over the last month

ATLANTA — Gasoline prices have remained relatively steady lately in Georgia, with the state average just one cent lower than it was one week and one month ago at $2.90 per gallon of regular unleaded gasoline.

That price is 33 cents lower than it was a year ago.

It costs drivers an average of $43.50 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. That’s almost $5 less to fill up at the pump than a year ago.

“Gas prices have remained relatively steady because crude oil is holding in the mid $60s,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Since crude makes up nearly half of what drivers pay at the pump, that stability is keeping prices from moving much.”
