Compared to recent benchmarks:

•           It's 2 centslower than last week

•           3 centslower than last month

•           But still 16 cents higher than this time last year

For those filling up a standard 15-gallon tank, the cost now comes to approximately $43.05, about 50 cents less than a month ago.

"It’s nice to see prices finally moving in the right directions," said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA-The Auto Club Group. "With cooler weather settling in and demand slowing down, Georgia drivers are getting a little break at the pump just in time for fall festivities."

Gas Prices Ease as Autumn Arrives

As fall settles in, drivers across the country are seeing a welcome dip in gas prices. The national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has dropped to $3.08, down from last week. According to the Energy Information Administration, gasoline demand has hit a four-month low, one of the key factors behind the continued decline at the pump.

With the third quarter of 2025 wrapping up on a note of increased fuel inventories and the seasonal switch from summer-grade to winter-grade gasoline, experts say prices could fall even further in the coming weeks.

Electric:

Electric vehicle drivers saw no change in charging costs this past week, with the national average holding steady at 36 cents per kilowatt-hour. To plan ahead, drivers can check charging prices along their route using AAA’s TripTik Travel Planner.

The most expensive metro markets in Georgia are Savannah ($3.01), Hinesville-Fort Stewart ($3.00), and Macon ($2.91).

Current and Past Price Averages (Regular Unleaded Gasoline)

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.

Traffic Safety Tip: AAA-The Auto Club Group “Move Over For Me” Campaign

“Drivers, if you see a disabled vehicle on the roadside while traveling, be courteous and Move Over,” said Waiters. “Remember, the person who broke down could be you, a friend, a family member, a coworker, or a neighbor. Move Over for the safety of others and because it is the right thing to do!”
