Gas prices rise, but Ga. and S.C. are still below national average
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Prices at the gas pump continue to creep upward as sanctions continue to limit the worldwide oil supply.
However, Georgia and South Carolina both sat below the national average of $3.11 for a gallon of fuel on Friday.
The price in Georgia was $2.97 per gallon, while South Carolina had some of the cheapest gas in the country at $2.85 a gallon, according to AAA.
Augusta prices averaged $2.92 on Friday, while prices in Aiken and Edgefield counties averaged $2.81.
The prices stayed low even as concern rose this weak about fuel supplies after a leak near Atlanta shut down a gasoline pipeline that serves the CSRA. That leak had been fixed by Friday afternoon, though, and fuel was flowing.
