Gas prices in Georgia decrease after gas tax suspension
Gas prices across Georgia have dropped precipitously in the last week, according to data from AAA.

As of Monday, Georgians are paying an average of $2.74 per gallon of regular unleaded gasoline. This price is 23 cents less than a week ago, 35 cents less than a month ago and 44 cents last year.
