The Georgia gas price average increased slightly at the pumps compared to a week ago. Georgians pay an average price of $2.94 per gallon for regular unleaded gasoline (subject to change overnight). Monday's state average is 1 cent more than a week ago, 1 cent more than a month ago, and 8 cents less than last year. It costs drivers an average price of $44.10 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline. Georgians continue to pay almost $2.00 less to fill up at the pump than a year ago.

“Crude oil prices have not seen a significant change this week. Therefore, Georgia pump prices remain steady for the most part,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “However, there is an impending concern that tariffs may cause an increase in gas prices across the country. Right now, it is just too early to predict.”
