ATLANTA — Motorists likely noticed another week of increases in prices at the pump. Throughout the past seven days, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded rose 14 cents in Georgia and 12 cents nationwide.
“Gas prices continue on an upward trend, which is normal for this time of year,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. “More motorists are hitting the road for spring vacations, increasing the demand for gasoline, while the supply has begun falling due to refinery maintenance season. These factors, coupled with rising oil prices, have led to the highest weekly price increase since last August. Prices will likely rise another 20 to 30 cents by Memorial Day weekend, but fortunately should remain well below year-ago levels.”
