Georgia’s average price for a gallon of gasoline continues to fall, and is quickly catching up with the national average. A gallon of regular unleaded in the state is now $3.24--down 8 cents from yesterday and a drop of 17 cents in two days. According to the AAA fuel gauge report, the national average is now only 8 cents below Georgia’s mark.
The question to Gregg Laskoski of AAA--will drivers hit the roads more given falling prices? He doesn’t think so:
"The conservation that people have been practicing is with us to stay. People know they were burned when we saw those fuel prices as high as they were, and they also know once the springtime comes around we’re going to be looking at much higher gasoline prices".
...That’s because refineries early next year begin production of summer blend fuel, which costs more when it arrives in the market in May.
Laskoski says for now, prices below $3.00 could be seen by Halloween.
