Gas prices are up again in Georgia, and that means drivers are feeling it in their wallets. The average price for regular gas is now $2.95 a gallon—9 cents higher than last week. But there’s a silver lining: it’s still 31 cents cheaper than this time last year.
⛽ Why It Matters: Every penny counts for Georgia families, especially when it comes to filling up the tank. Even a small jump in gas prices can make a big difference.
📈 What’s Happening:
Gas prices in Georgia have gone up, but not as much as in other parts of the country.
