Original Note:
Under Georgia law (Code 10-1-393.4), price gouging is illegal during a declared State of Emergency. During events like Tropical Storm Helene, excessive fuel price increases (e.g., $10/gallon) are prohibited unless reflecting true cost hikes. Violators face fines up to $15,000. https://consumer.georgia.gov/business-services/emergency-price-controls
