Trump Wants To Pause Federal Gas Tax. Here’s What NJ Is Doing

President Trump is pushing to temporarily suspend the federal 18.4-cent-a-gallon gas tax, which would shave about four percent off pump prices currently averaging $4.52 per gallon in New Jersey. Governor Mikie Sherrill says the state is keeping its gas tax in place, calling it essential for infrastructure investment, while industry groups warn the federal “gas holiday” is more gimmick than relief and could defund critical projects.
