The federal gas tax is on Trump’s hit list. Data shows how much would be saved without it. - NBC News
Overview
With national gasoline averages nearing $5 per gallon, the president and his Cabinet are discussing a temporary suspension of the 18.4-cent federal gas tax. One state has already paused its own gas tax; analyses show the pause would save drivers up to about 18.4 cents per gallon but would also drain the Highway Trust Fund that pays for road projects. The proposal requires congressional approval and faces practical enforcement hurdles that could limit consumer benefit. The pause is being considered alongside Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases and other short-term measures that may not fully offset rising costs.
