WASHINGTON, US President Joe Biden on Wednesday called on the Congress to approve suspending the country’s fuel tax for 90 days and on refineries to increase their output in a move aimed to bring down the surging cost of the commodity.<\/P>

“Today, I’m calling for a federal gas tax holiday, (and) state gas tax holiday for the equivalent relief to customers; oil companies to use their profits to increase refining capacity rather than buy back their own stock; gas stations to pass along the decrease in oil prices, to lower prices at the pump,” he said in an address at the White House.<\/P>

The US federal government charges an USD 0.18 tax per gallon of petroleum and USD 0.24 per gallon of diesel.<\/P>

“Together, these actions could help drop the price at the pump by up to USD 1 a gallon or more,” he predicted.<\/P>
