Georgia motorists are seeing some relief at the gas pump as prices continue to decline, although the cost of filling up remains significantly higher than a year ago.

Georgia motorists will continue getting a break at the gas pump after Governor Brian Kemp extended the state’s suspension of motor fuel taxes through November 5.

Gas prices have moved lower across much of Northwest Georgia, with Chattooga County averaging $3.86 per gallon as of Monday — the same as Georgia’s statewide average.

State Sen. Lanny Thomas says Georgia motorists are getting some relief at the gas pump following the suspension of the state’s motor fuel tax.
Thomas, who represents Senate District 53, said Tuesday that suspending the tax will save motorists 33.3 cents per gallon on gasoline and 37.3 cents per gallon on diesel fuel. Those figures match Georgia’s current motor-fuel excise tax rates.
“Today, Georgians are waking up to some much-needed relief at the pump,” Thomas said in a statement posted Tuesday morning.
Thomas credited Gov. Brian Kemp and Republican leaders in the General Assembly with taking action to provide relief as Georgians continue dealing with higher fuel and other household costs.
Thomas said the savings could particularly benefit people commuting to work, parents taking children to school, small-business owners and farmers who regularly purchase gasoline or diesel.
The Trion Republican said he supports efforts aimed at allowing Georgians to keep more of their income and described the motor-fuel tax suspension as one way state leaders are addressing affordability.
Thomas currently represents Georgia Senate District 53.
The latest suspension took effect at midnight and is scheduled to remain in effect for 30 days, according to Thomas’ statement.

Georgia motorists are paying more at the pump this week, with the statewide average for regular gasoline climbing to $4.19 per gallon.

Georgia drivers will get a break at the pump beginning Tuesday after Governor Brian Kemp announced Monday that he is suspending the state’s motor fuel excise tax for 30 days.
