“Georgia’s pump prices have been falling steadily each week for the past 2 months,” said Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman. “Despite high Thanksgiving road travel, gas prices remained under $3.00 for Georgians. Governor Kemp’s suspension of the gas tax until November 29th, and lower crude oil prices continue to be the driving forces reducing prices at the pump.”
