If you’re planning to take a vacation anytime soon, a road trip may not be such a bad idea. In just the last month, Georgia gas prices have fallen 34 cents per gallon, according to AAA. That’s an average savings of $5.50 per fill up.

Granted, it won’t be like the good ol’ days of 2021 when the average price of gas was $2.93 per gallon, but we’re moving in the right direction.

The current trend is especially noteworthy since Georgia broke the highest recorded average just one month ago. On June 16, Macon’s average price for a gallon of gas was $4.45 per gallon and the state’s record-breaking average was $4.49 per gallon by the following day.

The news is even better in the South where gas prices typically run lower than the rest of the country. While the country’s current average for a gallon of gas is $4.63, Macon’s average price per gallon is $4, 19 cents less than last week.

The least expensive gas prices reported are on stations on Watson Boulevard. At least four stations on the road reported prices of $3.59 per gallon or less.

The decrease began at the same time millions hit the road on July 4, but an increase in demand usually means higher prices at the pump, according to Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson.

“But the price for oil, the main ingredient in gasoline, has fallen and is hovering around $100 a barrel, “ added Gross. “Less expensive oil usually means less expensive gas.”
