Gasoline prices in Ga. on the rise again
From STAFF REPORTS
news@newnan.com
Average retail gasoline prices in Georgia have risen 2.9 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.53 per gallon Sunday.
This compares with the national average that has increased 4.5 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.51 per gallon, according to gasoline price website GeorgiaGasPrices.com .
Including the change in gas prices in Georgia during the past week, prices Sunday were 45.2 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 16.0 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 17.1 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 35.0 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"Gasoline prices have perked up a bit in the last week," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "As we continue to move towards warmer weather, gasoline prices will follow, with prices accelerating higher at a faster pace come late March into April, so if motorists think this is bad, they should really hold on to their chairs," DeHaan said.

I find it very odd that day-to-day prices shift as much as they do. One day it'll be $3.41 for regs; the next day the price pops to $3.50. I'm also suspicious about the vast differences in price/gallon between stores only a couple of miles apart. Has price gouging become the new past-time of Coweta County?

Totally agreed Roekest. Sad thing is, no one seems to care enough to do anything about it.
