“Georgia drivers are finally getting some relief at the pump, with the state average now at $3.85 a gallon, just as summer travel begins to ramp up,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “But with global uncertainty still in play, these savings could shift quickly, so now is the time to stay alert, shop around for the best prices, and make smart fuel choices to stretch every dollar.”
Gas prices are currently 14 cents lower than last week, 10 cents higher than last month and 96 cents higher than this time last year.
For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank of regular gas, the cost is approximately $57.75.
