Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency because of record inflation and suspended the gas tax, beginning at midnight Wednesday.
Suspending the tax on fuel will save drivers 31.2 cents a gallon on gas and 35 cents a gallon on diesel.
“While high prices continue to hit family budgets, hardworking Georgians deserve real relief and that’s why I signed an executive order today to deliver it directly to them at the pump,” Kemp said in a news release. When the gas tax was suspended from March through December of 2022, Georgians saved roughly $1.7 billion at the pump., the average cost of a gallon of regular gas in Georgia is currently $3.57, up from $3.24 a year ago.
