Another day, another record-setting price for gas. The national average price of a gallon of regular gas rose nearly two-cents overnight, according to AAA.

The national average is now nearly $3.25 a gallon. And crude oil topped $110 a barrel for the first time.

These days the only thing constant at the gas station is anger and frustration.

"I just think it's a scam. I think it doesn't have to be that high," driver Mark Shivers said.

"Yeah very expensive. I can't stand the prices," driver Bonnie Pittman said.

NBC Augusta compared and calculated Wednesday's $3.09 a gallon to the price of gas a year ago.

To fill up 13 gallons once a week, it'll cost you nearly $10 more a week, nearly $38 more a month and nearly $500 more a year.

"Awful, you can't go anywhere," Pittman said.

With gas prices already well over $3 gallon, some drivers say they've put the breaks on eating out.

"I can't go anywhere, can't do anything or afford to shop because you can't afford the gas," Pittman said.

We turned to Washington for answers and Georgia's 10th District Congressman Paul Broun.

"The way to stop having to pay so much for gas is by going and getting our own oil sources," he said.

Congressman Broun says he personally feels the pain at the pump, but says it won't get any better until we put an end to foreign oil dependency.

"I think there's a very great potential of having $5 a gallon gasoline if we don't make some major changes very quickly," Congressman Broun said.

AAA reports prices could be as high as $3.75 a gallon this spring which is just days away.
