We know high gas prices are putting a strain on your wallet, so Channel 2 Action News wanted to help out by giving our viewers free fill-ups.
Channel 2’s Fred Blankenship went to gas stations in Henry, DeKalb and Fulton counties, giving away $1,000 worth of free gas.
We’re still paying an average of $4.04 a gallon here in Georgia, but the national average is $4.52, according to AAA.
Check out more of the free gas giveaway on Channel 2 Action News This Morning starting at 4:30 a.m.
A week ago, gas cost $3.96 in the state.
Fred and his team found plenty of people at a gas station in Stockbridge who wanted free gas.
“Well, when I pulled up I was thinking like I could only afford $10 today, like and then she was like, ‘Oh, they’re giving away free gas?” Shakeedra Wright said. “Today is just a blessing.”
Channel 2 filled up more gas tanks at a DeKalb County gas station.
“Mary, can I fill up your tank?” Fred asked.
“Yes, please! Yes, I just retired; this is killing me,” Mary said.
It felt good to alleviate that worry for some of our viewers.
“Thank you so much!” a viewer said.
