States Waive Gas Taxes as Prices Surge Amid Iran War

Ohio lawmakers passed a 90-day gas tax holiday with bipartisan support, suspending the 38.5-cent gasoline and 47-cent diesel taxes through year-end. About one-third of U.S. states have enacted fuel tax relief as average gasoline hit $4.43 a gallon, up 50% since the Iran war began, and diesel reached $6.41. Affordability dominates midterm elections.
