Some of the gas prices we’ve seen around East Cobb in recent days reflect what the American Automobile Association is finding around Georgia—they’ve ticked up a couple of pennies as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches.
Here’s more from AAA’s The Auto Club Group, which includes Georgia:
Georgia gas prices increased slightly at the pump compared to a week ago. Georgia motorists are now paying an average price of $2.43 per gallon for regular unleaded. Monday’s state average is 2 cents more than a week ago, 2 cents more than last month, and 3 cents more than this time last year.
It now costs $36.45 to fill a 15-gallon tank of gasoline. That is $6.15 less than what motorists paid in May of 2018, when pump prices hit their peak of $2.84 per gallon.
“Gas prices have been fluctuating as of late, but are currently cheaper than the national average at this time last year, giving Americans a little extra money to spend on travel and motivating millions to take road trips,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “For the majority of Americans, AAA expects gas prices to be fairly similar to last year’s Thanksgiving holiday, which averaged $2.57.”
