Gas Prices Surge Across State

Filling up the tank is getting a little more costly in Georgia.

The average price for a gallon of regular gas is $1.90 across the state. That's according to a survey released today from AAA.

And for the first time since November, the national average is more than $2 per gallon.

Midgrade averages $2.04 and premium $2.13 a gallon. Diesel now goes for around $2.16 a gallon.

That puts prices at the pump about 14 cents higher than last month but down $1.32 from the same time last year.
