Georgia gas prices hit $3.89 as national average sets Labor Day record
x/state-of-georgia
— Sep 7, 2026
Labor Day gas prices are rising nationwide, with Georgia averaging $3.89 per gallon and Albany among the cheaper metro areas at $3.81, up almost a dollar from last year as travelers hit the road. The national average nears $4.00 per gallon due to elevated crude prices, tight refining capacity, and supply constraints, with regional differences—Savannah at about $3.96 and northwest Georgia around $3.83—reflecting a mixed but generally higher price landscape across states.
