President Biden called on Congress to suspend the federal gas tax for the next 90 days, through the busy summer driving season—18 cents per gallon for gasoline and 24 cents per gallon for diesel. Refined product prices are set by the marginal supply costs of bringing the incremental barrels of products to market.
