It now costs motorists $64.05 to fill a 15-gallon tank of regular gasoline.

“Elevated gas prices may factor into Georgians hesitation to hit the road this summer,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Prices at the pump are likely to remain high, therefore, it may be a good idea to start setting aside some money now for upcoming road travel.”

National Average Rises As Cost of Oil and Gas Demand Ticks Upward

Since last Monday, the national average for a gallon of regular gasoline has increased by 23 cents to $4.84. According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), total domestic gasoline stocks decreased by 700,000 barrels to 219 million barrels. Last week, gasoline demand grew from 8.8 million barrels a day to 8.98 million barrels a day as drivers fueled up for Memorial Day weekend travel. These supply and demand dynamics contributed to rising pump prices. Coupled with volatile crude oil prices, pump prices will likely remain elevated as long as demand grows and supply remains tight.
