Ohio Suspends Fuel Taxes for 90 Days

10/02/2026

Ohio’s 90-day gas tax holiday is taking effect after Gov. Mike DeWine signed legislation yesterday temporarily suspending the state’s gasoline and diesel taxes.

Sub. House Bill 519 eliminates Ohio’s 38.5-cent-per-gallon gasoline tax and 47-cent-per-gallon diesel tax during the 90-day period. Lawmakers estimate the suspension will provide about $725 million in savings, while state surplus funds will replace the lost revenue to keep road and bridge projects funded.

The General Assembly approved the bipartisan measure Sept. 30. 10/1/2026
