Saturday may be the first day of fall - a signal that lower temperatures are finally on the way, but the pesky ragweed that accompanies fall will make many allergy sufferers long for July.

Every spring and fall, Augusta allergists see their offices fill up with relief seekers as pollen fills the air. The first miserable wave of snifflers and wheezers hit this week.

"This is the second season of suffering," said William J. Branan, an allergist with Physicians Multispecialty Group of Augusta. "It starts in late August and will last for four to eight weeks."

Here's a list of average prices for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline and the highs:
