While the cheapest gas is in Dalton ($3.29), Rome ($3.28), and Catoosa-Dade-Walker ($3.27).
“Crude oil continues to trend under $80 a barrel, and demand appears to have slowed down, contributing to lower pump prices,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “
It is expected to be a busy summer of travel, which kicks off with Memorial Day Weekend in a few weeks.
