HINESVILLE, Ga. (WTGS) — Gas for $2 a gallon seems to be somewhat of a myth these days. But on Monday, one gas station in Georgia said it was time to give back. A Hinesville gas station dropped it’s prices to what motorists were paying 2 years ago on July 4.

A Georgia gas station owner lost $12,000 Monday — on purpose — by selling his gas at dirt cheap prices. It wasn’t a mistake. He wanted to help the community. “Everyone’s wallet’s taking a hit right now in 2022, so the least we can do as a locally, independently owned convenient store is give back for the community,” said Ravi Patel, the owner of A to Z Food Mart in Hinesville, Ga.

The owner says it was "worth it" to help out the community. Just days after Georgia's Governor Brian Kemp extended the suspension of taxes on gasoline until mid-August, a gas station owner in Georgia decided to do his bit to help out members of the local community.
