Georgia Gas Price Average Dips Before the Holidays
Special to the Ledger
Georgia gas price av
erage decreased at the
pump. Georgia drivers
are now paying an av
erage price of $2.96 per
gallon for regular un
leaded gasoline (subject
to change overnight).
Monday’s state aver
age is 7 cents less than
a week ago, 12 cents
more than a month
ago, and 17 cents more
than this time last year.
It now costs an aver
age of $44.40 to fill a
15-gallon tank of regu
lar gasoline. Georgians
are now paying $2.55
more to fill up at the
pump compared to a
year ago.
“AAA is forecasting
that 3.3 million Geor
gians will drive to their
holiday destinations
this year, and we an
ticipate gas prices will
continue a downward
trend,” said Montrae
Waiters, AAA-The
Auto Club Group
spokeswoman. “With
pump prices falling
slowly each day, it is
likely that the nation
al average will slide
below $3 per gallon by
the end of the year.”
Merry Christmas to all and let's remember
to keep Christ in Christmas. Sod bless every
one!
If mold is still in the courthouse, that prob

So many business and organizations are just
advertising holidays sales, they don’t even
mention Christmas. So many things are being
stripped away from we the people. From our
history, to our religious beliefs. When are we
going to say enough is enough already?

Are Lee county schools going woke? In the
demographic section on portal, it lists gender,
then pronouns. Then there’s a reading pas
sage about how electric cars are totally good
and gas totally bad. This passage doesn't
mention anything about how lithium batteries
would be disposed of, that lithium is toxic,
car won't start in extreme cold and so on.
It's all one sided, There’s the happy holidays,
