Gas prices across the country, after peaking in May and declining in June, surged in September.
Gas stations still have fuel on hand that they paid taxes on, so it’s unlikely prices would immediately drop if the bill becomes law. It could be days or weeks until they buy the new, cheaper fuel that would become available with the tax breaks.
