Drivers would pay less at the pump for gas and diesel for at least 120 days.

This bill would temporarily stop federal taxes on most gasoline, diesel, and kerosene for at least 120 days, with a possible extension. This could mean lower prices at the pump for everyday drivers. The government would still make sure road and underground tank cleanup funds get their money by transferring funds from other accounts.

What Would Change

Today, federal excise taxes are collected on gasoline, diesel fuel, and kerosene, with the money going to funds like the Highway Trust Fund. After this bill, these federal taxes would temporarily be set to zero for at least 120 days, potentially lowering prices at the pump. The government would then use money from its general fund to keep the Highway Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund fully funded.
