Georgia gas stations are still recovering from surging demand last week. Gasoline sales were reportedly 2-3 times stronger than normal as drivers lined up at pumps to top off their tanks.

According to Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman AAA-The Auto Club Group, “The restart of the pipeline last Wednesday was very positive news for motorists.  While the impact was not seen immediately, Georgians can expect to see a few more days of limited fuel supply but can rest assured that relief is coming.”

The state average for regular unleaded gasoline Monday morning was $2.96 a gallon.

That is 21 cents more than a week ago.

In Chattooga County the average price for a gallon of gas as of Monday afternoon was $3.02 per gallon.
