A perfect storm is pushing gas prices up across the nation following refinery fires and pipeline problems in the western United States, and Georgia hasn’t escaped the spike. The Georgia average for gasoline on Friday was $3.56, up 10 cents from a week ago and 32 cents from one month ago, according to GasBuddy.com, which provides average prices across the country as well as analysis. That price is comparable to this time last year, when it was just 2 cents more at $3.58.
