Indiana Gov. Braun extends suspension of gas tax for another month
The extension keeps Indiana motorists saving about 60 cents per gallon while Braun says the state will protect infrastructure funding.
- On Thursday, Indiana Governor Mike Braun extended the suspension of the state's Gasoline Usage Tax and Gasoline Excise Tax through October 6, providing another month of relief from high gas prices.
- Prompted by oil disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Canadian wildfires, the extension continues an energy emergency effective since August 7 that provides a 120-day window of authority.
- According to AAA, Indiana's state average for regular gasoline is $3.44, the lowest in the United States and 25 cents lower than Texas at $3.69, establishing Hoosiers' savings at about 60 cents per gallon.
- Governor Braun will reevaluate conditions in 30 days to determine whether further action is required, while tapping state reserves to keep local infrastructure projects fully funded.
- This energy emergency is separate from the Iran conflict that triggered the initial gas tax holiday in April; the suspension applies to all 92 counties, resulting in consecutive relief periods.
