NEW YORK (CNN/Money) – Consumers may finally be getting a break at the pump as some states moved to suspend gasoline excise taxes.
Drivers in Georgia are already seeing lower pump prices after the state suspended taxes on gasoline last week. Other states may follow.
After peaking at $3.06 Monday, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline dipped by a little more than a penny to $3.04 Tuesday, up from $1.85 a year ago, according to AAA.
But the motorist organization said its survey has been unable to keep up with real price increases, which have surged well above $3 a gallon in many areas and above $5 around Atlanta.
