As the war in Iran pushes U.S. gas prices toward $4 a gallon nationally, some lawmakers are pushing to suspend the federal gasoline tax in the latest attempt to try to control surging energy costs.

Lawmakers say the action would provide much-needed relief for families and businesses that rely on their cars and trucks to get to work and school and run everyday errands.

Asked about the gas tax at a Cabinet meeting Thursday, Donald Trump said he has “thought about” suspending it but suggested states should consider suspending their fuel taxes.

    Thanks to conservative identity politics and their “trucks are for REAL men” bullshit thats been going on a few decades its actually way worse than 10l/100km thats like 23mpg. Those big trucks are more like 16l/100km. All for folks who just commute in those monstrous things. And its not at all uncommon to see the luxury trims that run $80-$100k
