Trump：考虑暂停联邦汽油税；已签行政令允许卡车用免税红柴油
Trump 总统周二在白宫表示，正考虑暂停联邦汽油税以降低油价。此前已有四个州在中期选举前自行暂停州汽油税。联邦汽油税为每加仑18.4美分、柴油24.4美分，用于公路桥梁维护；暂停需国会复会批准，而两院要到选举后才复会。
周一，Trump 已签署行政令，允许卡车司机购买免税“红柴油”至12月31日。这种长期限于农用机械和工程设备的免税柴油，现可在公路上使用。白宫称，典型加油可为卡车司机节省超100美元。
油价背景严峻：柴油均价6.32美元/加仑（9月22日曾创6.53美元历史最高，一年前仅3.68美元）；汽油均价4.37美元，一年前3.13美元。G7 上周五同意释放1亿桶战略储备压价。（综合 NY Post、WebProNews 报道）
Trump Weighs Suspending Federal Gas Tax After Signing Dyed-Diesel Order
President Trump said Tuesday he is considering suspending the federal gas tax to lower costs, after four states already did so ahead of the midterms. The federal tax — 18.4¢/gallon on gasoline, 24.4¢ on diesel — funds highways and bridges; suspension needs Congress, which isn't back until after the election.
On Monday Trump signed an executive order letting truckers buy tax-free "red dye" diesel through Dec. 31. The fuel, long restricted to off-road equipment, can now be used on highways — saving truckers over $100 per typical fill-up, the White House says.
Diesel averages $6.32/gallon (a record $6.53 on Sept. 22 vs $3.68 a year ago); gasoline is $4.37 vs $3.13 last year. The G7 agreed Friday to release 100M barrels from strategic reserves. (Via NY Post, WebProNews)
