The Georgia gas price average is holding steady at the pump compared to a week ago. Georgians are paying an average price of $3.28 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday's state average is 1 cent less than a week ago, 12 cents less than a month ago, and 1 cent less than this time last year. It costs drivers an average price of $49.20 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are now paying approximately $2.00 less to fill up at the pump compared to a month ago.

“Slack demand, rising supply, and low crude oil prices kept gas prices from rising this week,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “However, let's not get too settled into this reprieve. We've got the 4th of July coming up soon, and that might pump up gas prices again.”

AAA continues to encourage drivers to take advantage of the money-saving gas tips listed below.

Despite the Rise in Temperatures, Gas Prices Kept It Cool

Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline held steady at$3.44 (subject to change overnight). The main reasons are lackluster gasoline demand and burgeoning supply. According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand crept higher from 8.94 million barrels a day to 9.04 last week. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks jumped from 230.9 to 233.5 million barrels as production increased last week, averaging 10.1 million barrels per day. Mediocre gasoline demand, increasing supply, and stable oil costs will likely lead to falling pump prices.

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 limit driving time.

• Slow down. Fuel economy diminishes significantly at highway speeds above 50 mph. Drive conservatively and avoid aggressive driving. Aggressive acceleration and speeding 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!”
