Georgia - Atlanta area specifically - has federal laws in place that require the use of greater refinement gasoline. This is due to the poor quality of the air, much of which is a result of the horrible traffic. That extra refinement costs more, which means that the low gas tax on the state level is usually offset by a higher price for the gasoline. Don't get your hopes up that gas in Georgia will be a lot cheaper than neighboring states.

taxes by state I had heard we, in Washington State, were among the highest taxed at the pump at .54 cents per gallon. Californina is off the charts.

I noticed on the chart, our little state of Mississippi is 37.2. That's not good, but way better than most states.
