ATLANTA — Gov. Brian Kemp signed a bill to suspend the Georgia’s gas tax for 60 days. It can take a few days to feel the effects, but gas prices appear to be trending down slightly.
As of Monday morning, AAA reports that Georgia’s state average is $3.66 for a regular gallon of gas. That is down from Sunday’s average of $3.69, Saturday’s average of $3.73 and Friday’s average of $3.79. The national average for Monday is $3.95.

The 60-day suspension signed on Friday will bring gas down about 33 cents a gallon for regular fuel and 37 cents for diesel fuel.
Kemp emphasized on Friday that it will take a few days, but drivers should see lower prices soon. How soon depends on the retailer. Busier ones should see lower prices first as they turn over supply quicker.
