Another week, another slide in gas prices

Gas prices are two-cents-a-gallon cheaper today than they were a week ago both nationally and in Georgia. And in Hall County, they are down another four cents.

The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded in Hall County is $3.19. In Georgia, it’s $3.26 and nationally, $3.44.

The main reasons for the decline are lackluster gasoline demand and burgeoning supply, according to AAA.

“Gasoline demand has trailed 2023 for most of this year, and analysts believe economic uncertainty may suppress demand this summer,” said spokesman Andrew Gross. “So, is the typical robust summer driving season a thing of the past? Or is gas demand just taking longer to pick up steam?  We may not know until autumn.”
