(The Center Square) – Portia Effinger has seen firsthand the difficult choices some Georgians have to make when faced with high gas prices. “It is very difficult, and it’s mind-boggling,” Effinger said as she filled up her car at a Chevron Station on N. Peachtree Road off Interstate 285 in Dunwoody last week. “I work in public service, and so it’s very heart-wrenching when you hear someone say they have to choose between putting gas in their car, paying their car payment versus putting food on their table. It’s upsetting.”
