About gas prices in Georgia
Georgia's gas tax is roughly 33 cents per gallon, and the state benefits from the Colonial Pipeline, which runs from Houston refineries through Atlanta on its way to the Northeast and supplies a major share of Georgia's fuel. Atlanta's prices can spike sharply during pipeline disruptions, as the September 2016 leak demonstrated when prices jumped 30 cents in a week. QuikTrip, RaceTrac, Costco, and Sam's Club are the cheapest reliable picks across Atlanta, Savannah, and Augusta, with Murphy USA at Walmart locations consistently competitive in suburbs and smaller cities.
