Gas prices have been rising, so we've compiled a list of prices for regular unleaded in the Oconee area. See which gas station has the best current price.

UPDATE: Very soon after Patch left about 4 p.m., Racetrac at 7921 Macon Hwy changed the price to $3.25/gallon.  Employees say that they were so busy all day with customers that they didn't have a chance to change it earlier.

The average price of gas jumped 6 cents overnight to a $3.287, according to the motorist group AAA. CNN money reported that oil prices spiked 9 percent over a one week period. What does that mean for the Oconee County area? Patch takes a look at some local prices to keep in mind when filling up your tank.
