Gas prices are declining across most of the U.S., including in Georgia. Prices in the state declined for the 13th consecutive day Sunday to an average of $2.72 per gallon.
That's four cents less than a week ago, but one cent more than last month and 50 cents more than last year.
"Prices declined last week after crude inventories grew and gasoline supplies remained stable, despite strong demand," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA. "Although demand was higher than the week before, it remains below most of July. Summer driving season is winding down, yet many Americans will take one final road trip during Labor Day weekend. The sudden jump in gasoline demand, could cause one final bump in prices at the pump."
The most expensive prices in the state are in Atlanta at $2.78, Brunswick at $2.72 and Savannah at $2.71; the lowest prices were in Augusta-Aiken at $2.58 and Warner Robins and Catoosa-Dade-Walker at $2.60. AAA's Fuel Price Map showed Hall County at $2.68 as of Monday morning.
