President Joe Biden on Wednesday calls on Congress to suspend the federal tax on gasoline. That report the news agencies Bloomberg and Reuters on the basis of anonymous government sources.
Biden said earlier this week that he was considering such a suspension. Incidentally, the tax in question is only 18.4 cents per gallon. Since a gallon is 3.8 liters, this is a price reduction of less than 5 cents per liter. Gasoline prices are currently hovering around $5 a gallon.
