The average price of gasoline in Atlanta keeps hitting new highs, reaching $4.49 a gallon Friday, according to Gas Buddy, which tracks prices nationwide.

AAA’s price-tracking is also in the same range at about $4.45 a gallon. And for AAA that too is a record for Atlanta’s average gas price.

And it’s not just metro Atlanta drivers paying at the pump. Gas Buddy’s charts show that Augusta and Macon, for example, are tracking along at ever-higher prices too. AAA shows the state average is at $4.43, which means plenty of places are feeling the effect.

Here’s an interactive map of the state showing the average price in each county.
