Gas prices $0.45 less per gallon in Georgia than last year, AAA says
AAA's gas price tracker shows that in Georgia, the state average gas price remained the same, a full five cents lower than in June.
Compared to last year, AAA said prices in Georgia were 45 cents less than in 2024.
'Gas prices remain low across the country in many states, providing some relief for drivers; however, with hurricane season in full swing, any significant storms could disrupt supply and lead to higher prices at the pump,' Montrae Waiters, AAA-The Auto Club Group spokeswoman, said in a statement. 'It's a good time for drivers to consider fuel-saving strategies to prepare for potential fluctuations.'

Florida gas prices dip more than a dime in a week. Here's what you'll pay at the pump.
There was good news at the pump for Florida drivers last week as gas prices dropped more than a dime. On Monday, drivers were paying an average of $2.94 a gallon for regular unleaded, down from $3.09 a week earlier, according to the AAA auto club. For several months, average prices in Florida had been moving about 15 cents a week in both directions until holding around $3.10 a gallon during the last two weeks. Nationally, the average price Monday was $3.15 a gallon, up a penny from a week earlier. Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said prices could dip before Labor Day. "Oil prices continue to hover in the mid-to-upper $60s (a barrel), and with gasoline demand starting to ease as we head into August, we could see prices gradually decline as we approach Labor Day," De Haan posted online. "That said, this is also the time of year when the tropics begin to stir, so we'll be keeping a close eye on hurricane activity that could disrupt supply and shift the outlook." In Miami-Dade on Monday, the average price for regular unleaded was $2.95 a gallon, down 11 cents from the week before. A month ago, the average was $3.09 and a year ago drivers were paying $3.45 a gallon. In Broward, the average was also $2.95 a gallon, down 16 cents from last week. A month ago, the average was $3.14 and a year ago it was $3.49 a gallon. AAA encourages drivers to combine errands, drive conservatively, remove excess vehicle weight, shop around using the AAA mobile app, and consider paying with cash to avoid credit card surcharges. AAA members can also save by enrolling in gas rewards programs, such as Shell's Fuel Rewards or discounts at Love's Travel Stops. Travelers can find updated gas prices and plan routes using AAA's tools at

RattanIndia's drone arm NeoSky partners with Karnataka Government to deploy drones
By Aman Shukla Published on August 4, 2025, 08:10 IST NeoSky India Limited, the drone subsidiary of RattanIndia Enterprises Ltd (REL), has deepened its presence in Karnataka by supplying advanced surveillance drones to support the state's security infrastructure. The company recently handed over high-tech drones to the Kalaburagi district administration and is preparing to deliver an additional 60 Tavas drones to the Karnataka Police. These drones are designed for tactical and security-focused use, with Tavas featuring a foldable frame, swappable payloads, and obstacle avoidance using LiDAR sensors on all six sides. At an event held on July 24, 2025, at the Vidhana Soudha, Karnataka's Home Minister Shri Gangadharaiah Parameshwara officially received the drones on behalf of the Kalaburagi administration. Two key drone models — the AI-enabled Nimble-I and the lightweight NS01 — were formally introduced into the state's policing system. Nimble-I is equipped for day and night surveillance and supports modular payload changes, while the compact NS01 weighs just 550 grams and includes a high-resolution day camera for discreet operations. NeoSky's collaboration with Karnataka Police is part of its broader engagement with India's defence and law enforcement ecosystem. The company has been actively working with the armed forces, paramilitary groups, and other agencies across the country, offering drones tailored for various mission profiles and environmental conditions. With manufacturing, research, and drone training all under one roof, NeoSky has established itself as a comprehensive player in India's drone sector. It holds a DIPP license to manufacture defence-grade drones, was the first in India to secure DGCA approval, and remains among the pioneers in conducting successful BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) trials. It is also ISO-certified, underscoring its commitment to global-quality standards. Beyond surveillance, NeoSky is helping shape India's next generation of drone professionals through its training initiatives. The company has a ten-year DGCA license to certify drone pilots and is currently training hundreds of students, including graduates and postgraduates from agricultural universities. The training programme isn't limited to defence and law enforcement; it also reaches learners from rural communities, schools, colleges, and even global content creators.
