A motorist fills a car with gas Tuesday afternoon at a Thompson Bridge Road convenience store. On Thursday, the price there had dropped to $3.46, following a national trend of falling prices due to the switchover to the winter gas blend and less demand entering the winter months.
Leaves aren’t the only things falling this autumn in Northeast Georgia, as gasoline prices are also drifting lower. “It’s hard to give a one-size-fits-all answer, but Atlanta metro (gas) prices should be in the low to mid-$3 (a gallon) range, $3.10 to $3,40 a gallon for the rest of the year,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com. Georgia’s average price of $3.54 decreased 9 cents from last week, and gas prices are expected to keep falling, with AAA predicting a national average price of $3.25 to $3.40 a gallon by Thanksgiving.
