The most expensive Georgia metro markets are Savannah ($3.25), Hinesville-Fort Stewart ($3.20), and Atlanta ($3.16, while the least expensive Georgia metro markets are Augusta-Aiken ($3.05), Dalton ($3.04), and Catoosa-Dade-Walker ($2.96).

“Gas prices are still on the decline but they’re taking their sweet time this week, shaving off just a penny,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Looks like some travelers are seizing the chance for one last summer trip, causing a tiny bump in demand, thereby slowing the drop in gas prices.”
