Gas prices kept tumbling last week in Georgia and elsewhere, as oil price kept declining, the AAA said in its weekly fuel price briefing.

The average price in Georgia for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was $2.56 on Sunday, according to AAA data, 5 cents cheaper than the previous week. The average price was $2.61 last week, $2.68 a month ago and $3.44 a year ago.

“Motorists are finally getting some consistent relief at the pump thanks to declining oil prices,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. “By this fall, prices could creep closer to levels seen at the beginning of this year, possibly even below $2 a gallon in some markets, as long as oil remains low.”
