Georgia gas prices have gone down, again, compared to a week ago.

The report from the American Automobile Association (AAA) said Georgia drivers are now paying an average price of $4.32 per gallon for regular unleaded gas. Monday’s state average is 8 cents less than a week ago, 10 cents more than last month, and $1.41 more than this time last year.

“Georgia pump price average continues its downward trend across the state,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman.

It now costs $64.80 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gas, and drivers are paying $21.15 more at the pump than last year.

Waiters said the demand for gas is going down which is making the oil prices lower.

“Crude oil continues to decline and demand dropped, which has helped to lower gas prices,” said Waiters.

AAA said since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gas has gone down by 9 cents. It is now $4.81, which is subject to change overnight.
