As Thanksgiving travel ramps up, drivers across Georgia are seeing a slight increase in gas prices heading into the holiday week. According to AAA, the statewide average now stands at $2.87 per gallon, driven by a modest rise in crude oil prices and growing travel demand. Prices are six cents higher than last week, nine cents higher than last month, but still six cents lower than this time last year. Filling up a standard 15-gallon tank now costs about $43.95.
