Gov. Brian Kemp on Friday suspended Georgia\u2019s gas tax for 60 days, making the Republican-led state the first to respond to surging fuel prices after the Trump administration\u2019s military strikes on Iran. <\/p>\n
The suspension will save drivers 33 cents per gallon on gas and 37 cents per gallon on diesel \u2014 costing the state up to $200 million a month. Georgia has billions of dollars in reserve it can use to cover the lost revenue. <\/p>\n
