According to the latest gas price update from AAA, the Auto Club Group, Georgia's gas prices are holding steady at $2.66 per gallon, which is lower than the national average of $2.89 per gallon. Compared to last month, prices in Georgia have decreased by 2 cents, and they are almost 30 cents lower than this time last year.

Why it matters

Steady and lower gas prices in Georgia provide some financial relief for drivers in the state, as the cost of fuel is a significant expense for many households. This trend could help boost consumer spending in other areas of the economy as well.

The details

AAA spokesperson Montrae Waiters attributed the lower gas prices in Georgia to softer demand and steady oil prices, which are helping push the state average down. Regionally, Atlanta's gas price of $2.67 per gallon is slightly higher than the state average of $2.66, but it is still lower than some of the most expensive areas in the state, such as Savannah ($2.76) and Valdosta ($2.73).
