GA Gas Tax suspended until Sat.

How much you want to bet that this money goes into store owner's pockets and not ours. I'm not holding my breath to see gas prices drop 20 cents a gallon today.

From the AJC:
****************

Gov. Brian Kemp signed an executive order that will suspend the state’s gas tax through Saturday after the shutdown of Colonial Pipeline’s network led to a rise in fuel prices.

The Republican said his order will “probably help level the price for a little while” though he urged Georgians to avoid a rush to the fuel pumps. State officials say it will amount to about 20 cents per gallon.

“We feel like this is very temporary,” he said. “You don’t need to go out and fill out every five gallon tank you’ve got. Get what you need, let everybody else get what they need, get to work and do the things you need to do.”
 
There's a gas station down the road from me, about at the half-way point between Cleveland and Helen on SR-75. This gas station has always sold gas around $0.30/gallon higher than the others in the area. Today, they were selling it for $4.05/gallon.
 
Bought regular today for $2.89 at BP in Hiram, later went by Sam's and they were lined up across the parking lot about 6 wide.
 
Same for Kroger and Racetrac on Dallas Hwy, lines all the way out to the street. Like one tank of gas is going to save them from extinction.
 
Truth be told, I was actually trying to get to the Racetrac to get a lotto ticket for the Queen since the drawing was way up there but when I saw that line I called her and said we’ll just have to find a way to be happy not being millionaires this week.

No one won it so it goes to $430mil on Friday. Some time in August, I think, Powerball goes to 3 times a week,,, I can't afford that!

You can buy Georgia lottery tickets online.
 
I got the Gas Buddy app on my phone. It let's you know which stations are out of gas, which is all of them.

It actually showed several near me that had gas this afternoon, but by the time I got off work, it would have been a nightmare to get anywhere near the Kroger at Crossroads. The RaceTrack at 92 and 75 only had lines of 1 or 2 cars for each pump
 
Should be interesting tomorrow, I’m leaving after lunch and riding the Harley to Vonore TN for a weekend mission trip with our riding group. We sent a scout out today to make sure gas was available, it seems once you get out of the metro area it’s a little easier to find. I checked my bike tonight, I have about 110 miles until empty so I’ll go 50 miles then turn around and come back home if I haven’t found gas by then. Once I top off I can make it all the way but I’m not going to get stranded short of arriving.
