For a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline, Georgians are paying $43.50 on average, about $4 less to fill up and get on the go.
“Summer gas prices held their ground, but with fall on the way, we anticipate drivers will see a welcome drop at the pumps,” Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman, said. “Still, with hurricane season underway, any Gulf disruptions could cause prices to rise temporarily.”
Nationally, average prices per gallon were $3.18, meaning Georgia is almost $0.20 cheaper per gallon of regular, unleaded gas.
Across Georgia, here’s where prices are highest and lowest if you’re getting ready to fill up your tank:
- Savannah - $3.01 per gallon
- Hinesville-Fort Stewart - $2.96 per gallon
- Macon - $2.93 per gallon
- Atlanta - $2.90 per gallon
- Dalton - $2.86 per gallon
- Rome - $2.83 per gallon
- Catoosa-Dade-Walker - $2.82 per gallon
