Senators Introduce 'Pay Less at the Pump Act' to Repeal Superfund Tax and Lower Energy Costs
FLOW CONTROL
Senators John Barrasso and Mike Carey have proposed the 'Pay Less at the Pump Act' to repeal the federal Superfund Tax on crude oil and petroleum imports. This tax, reinstated at 16.4 cents per barrel, contributes to higher fuel prices and consumer costs. The legislation is supported by several Republican senators and major industry groups, as it aims to reduce production costs and enhance U.S. energy competitiveness.
