Still, fuel costs remain elevated, leaving many Georgia families feeling the strain. The state average currently sits at $3.81 per gallon, subject to overnight changes.

Fuel tax suspension leads to drop in Georgia gas prices

(The Center Square) – Georgia drivers are paying 33 cents less for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline than they did last week, courtesy of a fuel tax suspension by Gov. Brian Kemp. A gallon of gas is $3.85, and while it is lower than last week, it's still 96 cents higher than last year, according to AAA. "Drivers are getting some welcome relief at the pump as lower crude oil prices and Georgia's suspension of the state gas tax help keep fuel costs in check," said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. Diesel prices also decreased from $6.25 per gallon last week to $5.79 per gallon. A gallon of diesel cost $3.54 last year, according to AAA. Georgia's fuel tax adds about 33 cents to gasoline and 37 cents to diesel fuel, according to the Georgia Department of Revenue. The money funds statewide transportation projects. The least expensive average gas price in the Peach State is in Albany at $3.67 per gallon, followed by the northwest Georgia counties of Catoosa, Dade and Walker, where it is $3.69 a gallon, according to AAA. Gas is most expensive in Atlanta ($3.91), Macon ($3.90) and Gainesville ($3.89). Georgia

Jackson tops list of cities where residents overspend on vehicles

Jackson has been named the top city in Georgia for overspending on vehicles. According to a study by WalletHub, Jackson residents spend on average $21,814 on a vehicle loan. The average yearly income in Jackson is $33,565. This equates to a debt-to-income ratio of 65%. WalletHub analysts determined the average Jackson resident’s auto loan debt is the equivalent of half or more of their yearly income. Jackson isn’t the only Georgia city to make the list. Douglas and Waycross were also noted as top cities where residents devote a substantial amount of their income to vehicle purchases. Jackson was ranked No. 17 across the nation in the study that revealed the top 30 cities where residents overspend the most on cars and trucks. At the top of the list for the nation is Rio Grande City, Texas where residents have a 92% debit-to-income ratio in regards to vehicle purchases. Donna, Texas came in the No. 2 spot followed by Pine Bluff, Arkansas as No. 3. To determine where Americans overspend on their automobile purchases, WalletHub compared the median auto-loan balance and income in more than 2,500 U.S. cities. Alongside increased auto purchases naturally comes increased auto loan debt.
