Georgia drivers are seeing familiar prices at the pump this week, as the state’s average gas price remains unchanged from last week. As of Monday, the average still sits at $2.66 per gallon, though day‑to‑day fluctuations are still possible.

"Georgians are getting a slight break at the pump as prices ease," said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA-The Auto Club Group. “Softer demand and steady oil prices are helping push the state average down, giving drivers a bit more breathing room this week.”

Compared to recent benchmarks:

• Same as a week ago
• 2 cents lower than last month
• 29 cents lower than this time last year

For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank, the cost now comes to approximately $39.90.

Nationally: February Opens with Slight Gas Price Increase

February begins with a modest uptick in gas prices. The national average for a gallon of regular has inched up to $2.89, a slight increase from last week. Demand has dipped as recent winter storms kept many drivers off the roads, but this is still the time of year when prices typically begin to climb as spring approaches. Even with the recent uptick, today’s average remains well below the $3.13 recorded at this time last year.

Electric:

Electric vehicle drivers saw no change in charging costs this past week, with the national average holding steady at 38 cents per kilowatt-hour. To plan ahead, drivers can check charging prices along their route using AAA’s TripTik Travel Planner.

AAA encourages drivers to use the money-saving gas tips listed below.

Money-Saving Tips for Drivers

• Shop around for gas prices. Drivers can check area gas prices on the Fuel Price Finder.
• Consider paying in cash instead of using a credit card. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who use a credit card.
• Enroll in fuel savings programs

Fuel-Saving Tips for Drivers

• Maintain your vehicle to ensure the best fuel economy. Find a trusted automotive facility at AAA.com/Auto Repair.
• Combine errands to minimize driving time.
• Slow down. Fuel economy diminishes significantly at highway speeds above 50 mph. Drive conservatively and avoid aggressive driving. Aggressive acceleration and speeding can reduce fuel economy.
