Governor Brian Kemp is continuing the suspension of the state sales tax on motor fuel for another month. An executive order he signed Thursday extends it through Jan. 10.
Following that date, Kemp said the 29.1 cents-per-gallon will be reinstated for Georgia drivers.
This represents the seventh time Kemp will have suspended the state fuel sales tax this year after signing a bill into law in March to allow him to do so.
Gasoline prices have fallen over the past several weeks. In July, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded was $4.33, according to AAA. On Thursday, it was $2.92.
