US States Take Steps to Lower Rising Fuel Prices
US states are enacting emergency measures including fuel tax suspensions and regulatory relief to lower soaring diesel and gasoline prices driven by global supply disruptions.
United States states are suspending fuel taxes and relaxing commercial vehicle restrictions as diesel prices reach $6.53 a gallon. The relief measures follow supply disruptions stemming from the US conflict with Iran, Ukrainian strikes on Russia's refineries, and shrinking global inventories. The legislative pushes coincide with strain on economic approval ratings ahead of November's midterm elections.
