GA Gas Gauge: Prices Under $2 Per Gallon Being Reported

A market over-saturated with oil and a shift to cheaper-to-produce winter fuel should continue your feel-good experience at the gas pump.

Gas prices in Georgia dipped another 6 cents last week, according to AAA in its weekly fuel price briefing.

The average price for a gallon of unleaded gasoline in Georgia was $2.19 as of Sunday, 23 cents lower than a month ago and $1.14 cheaper than last year.

“Motorists should expect another week of discounts at the pump,” AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins said in the briefing. “Oil prices remain especially low and gas prices are slowly catching up.”

AAA said the price of oil fell a dollar and a half per barrel last week, and is forecast to remain low due to shrinking demand and the end of the summer driving season.

Also, the cost of producing gasoline is falling, too, as refineries shift to winter-blend fuel, which is cheaper to make because there are fewer additives than summer fuel.

“Motorists are beginning to find more and more retailers selling gas below $2 a gallon in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee,” Jenkins said in the briefing. “It is unclear exactly how low prices will go in the coming months, but gas still has another 15 cents to fall before hitting the same low price we saw earlier this year when oil prices were this low.”

The lowest price reported Monday in Dacula on AtlantaGasPrice.com was $1.98 and several stations had gas for less than two bucks.
