Georgia gas prices remain unchanged compared to a week ago
ATLANTA – AAA reports that the average gas price in Georgia remains steady at $2.90 per gallon at the pumps.
Release:
The Georgia gas price average remained unchanged at the pumps compared to a week ago. Georgians now pay an average price of $2.90 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline, which can change overnight. Monday’s state average remains the same as a week ago, 4 cents higher than it was a month ago, and 49 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. Georgians are paying almost $8.00 less to fill up at the pump than a year ago.
“Drivers are getting a break at the pump this summer,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “It’s been four years since gas prices have been this low nationally during this season, primarily due to strong supply in the oil market. Keep in mind that prices remain unpredictable due to factors like oil market volatility and seasonal demand shifts.”
Nationally:
Gas Prices this Summer Mirror 4-Year Lows
Since last Monday, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline has increased by 1 cent to $3.15, subject to change overnight. Drivers are enjoying some relief at the pump this summer, with gas prices aligning with July 2021 levels. For the first time in four years, the national average for summer gas prices has reached such lows. The drop in prices can be attributed to an ample supply in the oil market, providing much-needed stability.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand increased from 8.64 million barrels a day last week to 9.15 million barrels a day. Total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 232.1 million barrels to 229.5 million barrels.
Oil Market Dynamics
At the close of last Wednesday’s formal trading session, WTI increased 5 cents to settle at $68.38 a barrel. The EIA reports that crude oil inventories increased by 7.1 million barrels from the previous week. At 426 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 8% below the five-year average for this time of year.
Electric:
Meanwhile, the national average per kilowatt-hour of electricity at a public EV charging station remained the same this past week at 36 cents. Drivers can find electric charging prices along their route using the AAA TripTik Travel Planner.
Regional Prices:
The most expensive metro markets in Georgia are Savannah ($3.00), Atlanta ($2.92), and Hinesville-Fort Stewart ($2.89).
The least expensive metro markets in Georgia are Dalton ($2.84), Catoosa-Dade-Walker ($2.81), and Rome ($2.79).

AAA encourages drivers to use the money-saving gas tips listed below.
Money-Saving Tips for Drivers
- Shop around for gas prices. Drivers can check area gas prices on the Fuel Price Finder.
- Consider paying in cash instead of using a credit card. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who use a credit card.
- Enroll in fuel savings programs
Fuel-Saving Tips for Drivers
- Maintain your vehicle to ensure the best fuel economy. Find a trusted automotive facility at AAA.com/Auto Repair.
- Combine errands to minimize driving time.
- Slow down. Fuel economy diminishes significantly at highway speeds above 50 mph. Drive conservatively and avoid aggressive driving. Aggressive acceleration and speeding can reduce fuel economy.
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!”

- President Donald Trump participates in a policy meeting at the White House.
- The full House is out for one more day.
- The House Ethics Committee is expected to announce an update on a complaint involving U.S. Rep. Mike Collins, R-Jackson, and his top aide, Brandon Phillips. The committee disclosed in November that the complaint had been referred to its members on Oct. 7 and set a deadline for today to announce its course of action. The complaint wasn’t made public, and Collins’ office has called it a “desperate and baseless attack” by the U.S. Senate candidate’s political opponents.

Sources: Georgia State landing new defensive coordinator from ACC champs
Dell McGee’s defensive staff overhaul as he enters Year 3 atop the Georgia State program is getting its most significant piece of the puzzle, FootballScoop has learned.
McGee is hiring Cam Clark, a senior analyst on Duke coach Manny Diaz’s 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Champions staff, to run the Georgia State defense, sources tell FootballScoop.
It’s a notable hire for McGee, who is seeking to turn around Georgia State after going just 4-20 in his first two seasons at the helm.
While Clark arrives at Georgia State after assisting the Duke Blue Devils offense, his background is in defensive coaching.
He served two years as defensive coordinator at Football Championship Subdivision program Western Illinois, and he also ran the defense at Lamar University. Additionally, Clark was defensive coordinator at Georgia prep powerhouse Thomas County Central High School.
A former star player at Harding University, Clark obtained his master’s degree from Auburn University, where he served as a graduate assistant.
He has additional Football Bowls Subdivision experience from coaching under both Hugh Freeze and Gus Malzahn while serving on their respective staffs at Arkansas State.
