AAA Auto Club says that gas prices rose two cents to $3.20, a level not seen since October 2014. The probable causes for the increase are a slight uptick in demand and the high price of crude oil.

“Global economic uncertainty and supply chain concerns caused by the lingering COVID-19 pandemic could be playing a role in keeping crude oil prices elevated,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “But, there may be some relief on the horizon due to the news that OPEC and its allies might ramp up production increases faster than previously agreed.”

The average price for a gallon of gas in Georgia was $2.99 per gallon on Tuesday.

Area gas price averages: Chattooga ($2.97), Walker ($2.98), Floyd ($2.93), Gordon ($2.90), DeKalb, AL ($2.85), Cherokee, AL ($2.78)
