The average price for a gallon regular unleaded in Hall County is $2.69. That compares to $2.93 a week ago, according to AAA. Many places are selling it twenty cents cheaper than the average, and some were doing so the day after the order was issued Tuesday.
The statewide average is $2.74 this week, down from $2.97 last Monday.
Nationally, the price is $3.17 compared to $3.19 a week ago.
“Despite the threat of war and a hurricane season that is still percolating, domestic gasoline prices are edging lower,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesman. “There are now 18 states east of the Rockies with averages below $3 a gallon. And OPEC+ is saying, at least for now, they will increase production starting December 1st, putting even more downward pressure on pump prices.”
