The average gas price in Georgia holds steady at the pumps compared to a week ago.
Georgians now pay an average price of $2.94 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline, which can change overnight.
Monday’s state average is the same as it was a week ago, 1 cent lower than it was a month ago, and 38 cents lower than it was last year. It costs drivers an average of $44.10 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians are paying almost $7.00 less to fill up at the pump than a year ago.
“Pump prices saw minimal or no change at the pumps,” said Montrae Waiters, a spokeswoman for AAA Auto Club Group. “As gas prices trend lower than last year’s peaks, drivers may feel a sudden sting at the pump with each fill-up as Spring Break rolls in for students across the state. There is still a bright spot for Georgians; we are trending 21 cents below the national average of $3.15.”
Local averages on Monday were $2.84 in Floyd County, $2.86 in Gordon County, $2.88 in both Chattooga and Polk Counties, and $2.90 in Bartow County.
Nationally
Gas Prices Making Seasonal Climb
Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has increased by 3 cents to $3.15 after weeks of little movement. With Spring Break in full swing, drivers are paying more at the pump compared to last week. Gas prices typically begin increasing this time of year and reach their peak during the summer. But the national average is still about 40 cents lower than last year due to tepid gasoline demand and weak crude oil prices.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand decreased from 8.81 barrels per day last week to 8.64 barrels per day. The total domestic gasoline supply decreased from 240.6 million barrels to 239.1 million barrels. Gasoline production decreased last week, averaging 9.2 million barrels per day.
Oil Market Dynamics
At the close of last Wednesday’s formal trading session, WTI rose 65 cents to settle at $69.65 a barrel. The EIA reports that crude oil inventories decreased by 3.3 million barrels from the previous week. At 433.6 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 5% below the five-year average for this time of year.
