Why is gas so expensive in Georgia?

I know that gas prices can change from day to day, but why is gas so expensive in Georgia right now? I feel like I shouldn’t even be driving to save money.

The reason that gas is so expensive in
Georgia
right now is, unfortunately, that there is a gas shortage in the United States. This shortage was caused by an upset in the market following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
President Joe Biden also implemented a ban on imported Russian oil or gas, which has caused further supply issues for big oil companies. This low supply combined with the high demand for gas from people hoping to travel over the summer has caused a massive increase in gas prices across the country.
To help manage the higher gas prices, try cutting costs in other areas, like your
