Indiana Governor Mike Braun extended the suspension of Indiana’s gas tax.
Governor Braun extended the April emergency energy declaration by another 30 days, the maximum the law allows. Governor Braun is extending the suspension of the 7% Gasoline Usage Tax on fuel for an additional 30 days and is also now suspending the Gasoline Excise Tax, which will more than double the savings at the pump for Hoosiers.
The decision extends Governor Braun’s gas tax holiday to the end of his emergency declaration and is the longest he can suspend the gas tax on his own authority without a special legislative session.
The Gasoline Usage Tax is $0.23 per gallon for May, and the Gasoline Excise Tax’s current rate is $0.36 per gallon for 2026. Governor Mike Braun’s extension of the gas tax holiday will give Hoosiers a 12.4% discount on the average price of gasoline in Indiana.
Governor Braun also announced that he will increase the mileage reimbursement rate for state employees who utilize their own vehicles for work-related travel. Details on that increase will be shared once confirmed.
