Gas prices drop statewide

Posted: Updated:
ALBANY, GA (WALB) -

You've probably noticed lower gas prices the last few days.

Average retail gas prices in Georgia are down 9.1 cents per gallon in the past week to an average of $3.50.

That's below the national average of $3.67.

One driver we talked to says the falling prices give her the option to drive more places.

"Well now that gas prices are going down I'm planning to do more traveling back and forth and I guess stop being so conservative about where I'm going," said commuter Monica Ward.

The average price for gas in Georgia is still 12 cents per gallon higher than it was this time last year, but down almost 16 cents in a month.
