Suspended fuel tax lifts North Carolina to best three in fuel costs

(The Center Square) – North Carolina’s unleaded gasoline prices and diesel fuel prices, respectively, are Nos. 2 and 3 in the nation on Tuesday morning, according to AAA. The shift to being among the best in the nation is tied to Republican majorities in the General Assembly going back into voting session last week and delivering a suspension of the fuel taxes for each through the end of November. First-term Democratic Gov. Josh Stein two days later on Friday signed the Relief at the Pump proposal into law. From Murphy to Manteo, the average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.81, down 10 cents from Monday, 28 cents from Friday when Stein signed, and 31 cents from Wednesday when lawmakers overwhelmingly gave approval. The average for diesel is $5.76, down 8 cents from Monday, 22 cents from Friday, and 23 cents from last Wednesday. Tuesday’s national averages are $4.34 for gas and $6.27 for diesel. Georgia’s $3.79 per gallon norm is best in the nation; for diesel, Texas ($5.72) and Georgia ($5.74) are the only states lower than the Tarheel State. North Carolina’s fuel tax of 41 cents per gallon this year is only eclipsed by California (73.6),

Making the wheels on the bus go ’round and ’round costing NC schools more than ever

Diesel and gas prices in North Carolina have soared in recent months, which experts attribute to ongoing international conflicts, including the US war in Iran and Russia’s war in Ukraine. Diesel in particular reached a record of more than $6 per gallon on average, a first for the state. While few Americans drive diesel cars, most heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles run on the fuel — including school buses.
