Filling up? Here’s where to find cheap gas in Columbus
The average price of a gallon of gas in Georgia is once again at $4.28, according to the AAA average gas price index. This time, it could mark a turn for the better. The state set a new record Friday when the average price for a gallon of fuel reached $4.29.
Experts say the price may level off or possibly dip a little lower in the coming days. One thing it will not do is plummet as low as last month’s $3.33 average anytime soon.
“If today’s decline in oil holds- most states will likely see a weekly decline at the gas pump in the week ahead,” tweeted Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, Monday morning.
Now more than ever, it is crucial to research the best deal and save money where possible.
A few local stations have already started lowering prices. Gasbuddy, which relies on user-reported data, listed a few options for a cheaper fill-up.
