It's no secret that gas prices in Georgia have sky-rocketed recently. As of March 16, 2022 residents can expect to pay an average of $1.5 more per gallon than they did this time last year, a 36% increase.

TikTok users have been coping with the rise in prices in their usual fashion — with plenty of jokes. Users flocked to the platform to make videos with trending sounds such as the song 'Gasolina' by Daddy Yankee.

Here's a look at Georgia's reaction to ridiculously high gas prices.

1. "If ya'll see me doing 35 in a 70 mph lane, go around me! Gas is $4.29 today, and I'm not speeding! I'm taking my time." TikTok user Na'ima Rasool jokes.
