Gas prices across Georgia continue to rise, with the average cost of regular fuel at $3.70 per gallon and Atlanta among the state’s most expensive metro markets at $3.73 per gallon – significantly higher than last month’s and last year’s.
According to AAA, the increase is largely driven by higher crude oil prices and seasonal demand as spring travel ramps up. Prices are also being impacted by the transition to more expensive summer gasoline blends. With oil costs remaining elevated and demand expected to grow, drivers may continue to see fluctuations and sustained pressure at the pump in the weeks ahead.
