INDIANAPOLIS - Gov. Mike Braun has announced he is extending his suspension of Indiana's gas tax. 

The extension will last for an additional 30 days. 

“Affordability is my top priority. I am once again extending these gas tax savings to make life more affordable for Hoosier families. Hoosiers will be able to celebrate 250 years of American independence this Fourth of July with the cheapest gas in America.” — Governor Mike Braun

Last month, the governor's office celebrated the cheapest gas in the country for a full month. According to AAA Fuel Prices, Indiana continues to have the cheapest regular gas in the country.  

On a related note, Governor Mike Braun has directed his administration to make local governments whole for any gas tax revenues missed while the ongoing energy emergency is in effect, saying “we are running government more efficiently and as a result, we have the resources to offer tax relief while supporting local partners.”
