俄亥俄州暂停征收汽油税 90 天，油价应声跌破 4 美元
州长迈克·德怀恩 10 月 1 日签署众议院 519 号法案，暂停征收俄亥俄州汽油和柴油消费税 90 天。法案于 10 月 4 日正式生效，一直持续到 2027 年 1 月 2 日。州政府将动用超过 7.25 亿美元的财政盈余资金填补税收缺口，以确保公路建设项目不受影响。
根据法案，俄亥俄州每加仑 38.5 美分的汽油税和 47 美分的柴油税在假期期间几乎降为零。签署法案时，该州平均油价高达每加仑 4.24 美元（汽油）和 6.68 美元（柴油）。据美国汽车协会数据，暂停征税后周日全州平均油价已降至 3.97 美元，周一进一步降到 3.87 美元。
值得注意的是，两位州长候选人——民主党的艾米·阿克顿和共和党的维韦克·拉马斯瓦米几乎在同一时间提出了燃油税假期方案，州议会随后以两党支持通过了该法案。支持者估计，普通司机在这三个月里能节省约 80 美元。批评者则认为节省幅度有限，且未必能完全传导到消费者手中。联邦燃油税不受影响，仍照常征收。
Ohio Suspends Gas Tax for 90 Days; Prices Drop Below $4 a Gallon
Gov. Mike DeWine signed House Bill 519 on October 1, suspending Ohio's gasoline and diesel excise taxes for 90 days. The measure took effect October 4 and runs through January 2, 2027. The state will use more than $725 million in surplus funds to fill the revenue gap and keep highway projects on track.
Under the law, Ohio's 38.5-cents-per-gallon gasoline tax and 47-cents diesel tax drop to nearly zero during the holiday. When the bill was signed, average prices stood at $4.24 (gasoline) and $6.68 (diesel) per gallon. According to AAA data, the statewide average fell to $3.97 by Sunday after the suspension, and further to $3.87 on Monday.
Notably, the two gubernatorial candidates — Democrat Amy Acton and Republican Vivek Ramaswamy — proposed gas-tax holiday plans at almost the same time, and the legislature then passed the bill with bipartisan support. Supporters estimate the average driver will save about $80 over the three months. Critics say the savings are modest and may not fully reach consumers. The federal fuel tax is unaffected.
