Gas prices continue to recover from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, and in Georgia prices dropped about six cents in the past week.
The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gas was $2.66, according to a weekly price report from AAA.
The state average has declined 15 cents since peaking on September 12 at $2.76, but despite that downturn, AAA said motorists are still spending about 31 cents more at the pump than this time a year ago.
Atlanta had the most expensive gas prices averages at $2.66 while Augusta was the lowest with $2.51.
"No need to rush to the pump, gas prices should get even cheaper as the week progresses," said Mark Jenkins with AAA. "Prices are still inflated after hurricanes Irma and Harvey, but will keep falling as refinery operations, supplies, imports and exports return to normal. Pump prices have another 20 cents to fall before reaching equilibrium. Expect another 5-10 cent drop this week."
