As of Wednesday morning, July 15, nearly all of the Atlanta metro area is back up and running on natural gas.
The severe weather that swept through the area on Tuesday left many residents without power, and as a result, many gas stations were forced to close. However, Wednesday morning most of the power has been restored, and gas stations are beginning to open back up.
If you’re still in need of gas, be sure to check the website or app for your favorite gas station to see if they’re open and if they have any fuel left. And as always, be sure to stay safe and never operate a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Q: Why is gas scarce in Georgia?
A: There are a few reasons for this. First, Georgia is a landlocked state, so it has to import all of its gas from other states. This can be expensive and difficult to do, especially in the winter when demand is high. Second, Georgia has a lot of old, inefficient gas pipelines that leak a lot of gas. This means that there is less gas available for consumers. Finally, Georgia has a lot of environmental regulations that make it difficult to build new gas pipelines or power plants. This means that there is less new gas being brought into the state, and that the state has to rely more on existing gas resources.
Q: Why does Georgia have low gas prices?
A: There are a few reasons why Georgia has low gas prices. One reason is that the state has its own refinery, which helps to keep costs down. Additionally, Georgia is located close to several major oil-producing states, which also helps to keep prices low.
