AAA survey finds gas prices down 3 cents overnight

ATLANTA - Gasoline prices across Georgia are still tumbling, and are now below $2 a gallon at one outlet in the Gainesville area.

AAA Georgia says gasoline prices have dropped an average of $1.59 per gallon in the last month. The statewide average price for a gallon of regular unleaded Monday was $2.26. That's a 3-cent drop since Sunday.

The national average for regular was $2.41.

AAA says the drop was caused by lower demand and by the decrease in the price of crude oil, which fell more than $5 a barrel since last week.

Gasbuddy.com reported one outlet in Buford is selling regular for $1.89 Monday morning. Another had it for $2.07, and two others were selling it for $2.09.

Prices in Cumming included $2.05 at three stations and $2.07 at another.

The cheapest in Hall County is $2.14 at two Gainesville outlets, according to gasbuddy.com. But one station in Oakwood had it for $2.15, and you will pay $2.17 at two places in Flowery Branch.
