Gas prices in Atlanta, GA

About gas prices in Atlanta, GA

Atlanta sits at the northern end of Colonial Pipeline, the dominant gasoline supply line from Gulf Coast refining to the Southeast, and at one of the major terminals in the system. Georgia state gas tax is moderate at around 30 cents per gallon. Reformulated gasoline is required in the Atlanta metro through summer ozone season. The metro typically runs close to the PADD 1C average and below most East Coast metros thanks to direct refinery pipeline access. Drivers across the outerbelt (I-285) typically see 10 to 20 cents per gallon savings versus downtown stations. Warehouse club density along the Perimeter is high, with Costco locations in Sandy Springs, Smyrna, and Marietta posting the lowest pricing most weeks.
