ATLANTA (AP) - Retail gasoline prices across Georgia jumped a penny overnight as OPEC production cutbacks sent oil prices rising.

A survey from AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express shows a gallon of regular is now averaging about $1.53 in Georgia.

AAA said Monday's national average for a gallon of regular was $1.67.

Midgrade averaged $1.65 while premium fuel cost $1.75 a gallon in Georgia.

Savannah had the highest metro average for regular at $1.59.

Atlanta recorded the cheapest average at $1.49 a gallon.
