About this Program
Our State Fuel Oil Laboratory tests samples of all motor fuels sold in Georgia for purity, performance, octane rating, and other quality standards. The Lab analyzes kerosene and antifreeze for product safety and performance requirements. It also conducts cubic measure of petroleum transport tankers.
Important: The Georgia Department of Agriculture does not regulate or manage fuel prices. If you have questions about gas prices, please contact the Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Division.
Our inspectors normally inspect stations every 24 to 30 months. They will follow up more frequently if there is a complaint against the station or if problems were found during a routine inspection.
See our Fuel & Measures FAQ for more information.
