Higher Crude Oil Prices Drive Up Gas Costs Across the US
Rising crude oil prices are driving up gas costs in Georgia and nationwide. According to AAA's latest data, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline rose to $4.11 this week.
Georgia drivers are paying more at the pump than last month, with some metro markets averaging over $3.95 per gallon. The most expensive areas include Brunswick, Atlanta, and Hinesville-Fort Stewart.
AAA encourages drivers to shop around for gas prices, use fuel savings programs, and maintain their vehicles to ensure the best fuel economy.
