President Trump has announced he is exploring a suspension of the federal gasoline tax in response to gas prices reaching $4.50 per gallon nationally. However, economists warn the 18.4 cent federal gas tax cut may provide limited relief, with research suggesting that producers and distributors often absorb a significant portion of such savings. With the Iran war keeping Strait of Hormuz supply restricted, analysts say prices are unlikely to return to pre-war levels without a resolution to the conflict. WooGlobe Ref : WGA502425
