The proposal would temporarily eliminate federal taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, reducing what drivers pay at the pump. This tax break would apply to all consumers who buy these fuels for vehicles, potentially saving money on gas and heating oil during the holiday period. The change would reduce federal tax revenue collected from fuel sales.
