Georgia gas tax break ends Tuesday—fill up before prices rise

Georgia’s temporary suspension of the state motor fuel tax will expire at 11:59 p.m. June 2 unless Gov. Kemp extends it again, meaning drivers could see higher prices soon. The tax break saves about 33 cents per gallon (roughly $14 a month) but costs roughly $200 million a month in transportation funding. As of Monday, Georgia averaged $3.79 per gallon (metro Atlanta $3.85); the national average was about $4.32, aided by the suspension. Kemp hasn’t announced an extension, and AAA warns rising prices can delay refueling, while experts suggest refilling before tanks are a quarter full.
