Georgia gas price average remains steady at the pump compared to a week ago. Drivers are paying an average price of $3.35 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday's state average remains the same as a week ago, is 22 cents more than a month ago, and 13 cents more than this time last year. It costs drivers an average of $50.25 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are now paying almost $2.00 more to fill up at the pump compared to a year ago.

“Georgia gas prices saw minimum to no change at the pumps across the state,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Rising crude oil prices continue to be the main culprit influencing gas prices. AAA continues to encourage drivers to follow the money-saving gas tips listed below.”

The National Gas Price Average Keeps Climbing

Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has increased by 7 cents to $3.53 (subject to change overnight). While domestic gas demand has been lackluster, rising oil prices helped push pump prices higher. The Midwest may see a bit of a price reprieve, as the large BP Whiting refinery in Indiana is back up and running after being down since February 1^st.

According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand decreased slightly from 9.04 to 8.81 million barrels a day last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks dropped by 3.3 million barrels to 230.8 million barrels. Lower demand would typically contribute to pushing pump prices lower or slowing increases but rising oil prices have pushed them higher instead.
