ATLANTA — Georgia drivers are seeing no relief at the gas pump as prices continue to go up. According to AAA, drivers are paying an average price of $4.29 per gallon for regular unleaded.
Monday's state average is 32 cents more than a week ago, 96 cents more than last month and $1.61 more than this time last year. It now costs motorists $64.35 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline.
“Georgians are paying more than they ever have for gasoline and are looking for ways to spend less at the pumps,” Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman, said.
She also added one simple way you can get the most for your money when you fill up your tank.
"To start with, ensure your vehicle is properly maintained, so you get optimal fuel economy. Unfortunately, drivers should anticipate gas prices to remain high for weeks to come.”
