Gov. Brian Kemp has again suspended Georgia’s motor fuel tax, part of Kemp’s new executive order declaring a State of Emergency for Inflation.

The order takes effect Wednesday on midnight and runs through October 12th.

Georgia’s motor fuel tax is paid at the distributor level, not by gas stations, meaning that there will be a gap of a few days before gas prices drop at your local station. Georgia’s current tax is 31 cents a gallon for gas and 35 cents a gallon for diesel
