Gas prices in Arkansas are close to $3 per gallon, according to a recent AAA report. The average price of gas in the state was $2.993 per gallon on Monday, up from the previous day's average of $2.,615. The rapid rise has been difficult to adjust for drivers who depend on the road for their income. Some drivers are now filling up four to five times a day, typically spending between $10 and $20 each time. Local businesses that rely on deliveries are also feeling the impact of the increase.
