Suspend federal fuel taxes for 18 months, then phase them back in gradually

Jefferson Van Drew introduced legislation to suspend federal fuel taxes for 18 months, including 18.3 cents per gallon on gasoline, 24.3 cents on diesel fuel and kerosene, and 19.3 cents on aviation gasoline. The bill would then gradually phase the taxes back in instead of restoring them all at once. Van Drew says the suspension is intended to ease costs for families and people who depend on cars.
