What are gas prices in the US and each state? Today 23 June 2022
Biden called on Congress and states to give drivers a gas tax holiday with national average price near historic $5 per gallon. Here’s the outlook by state.
President Biden urged Congress to take legislative action to give American drivers a three-month gas tax holiday over the summer months. He also asked states to do the same or find some other way to help households dealing with rising prices not seen in over forty years. However, it appears unlikely that the federal government will send taxpayers a gas rebate card.
According to the AAA Gas Prices website, which is a public service of the United States of America’s largest motoring and leisure travel membership organization, the following price information is made available. Every day up to 120,000 stations are surveyed in cooperation with WEX Inc. for unmatched statistical reliability.
