NEW YORK (WPIX) – As gas prices continue to soar, relief at the pump is coming.
The New York state gas tax suspension begins Wednesday. The state will cut a portion of its gas tax by 16 cents per gallon. Legislators and Gov. Kathy Hochul previously agreed to the tax holiday as part of the more than a $200 billion state budget.

Sixteen cents. Happy days are here again.
On 10 gallons (about $46) of gas a WHOPPING $1.60! Happy Days are Here Again! Our overlords are extremely generous!
Still, they will cry the blues and try to make it up somewhere else. The cut-spending option will never cross their minds in Albany.
Not to worry. They’ll make you pay for it later.
Don’t do that! We need to start screaming at Joe to rescind the EO he passed on his first day in office that killed the XL Pipeline, restricted federal oil leases, and encourage bureaucratic tree huggers to slow the permitting process. Just undo the damage you’ve caused, Joe, and let our energy sector get back to work...you twit.
Great, it was $4.89 yesterday, so now it will be $4.73, still over the national averages.
Big deal. Government actions make gas very expensive. Then 5 months before a big election they give you 16 cents back.
And some people fall for it.
NYers interviewed on the radio said “big deal, gas is still ruinously expensive”. It’s not gonna work. How scared must the demonrats in charge be to give up the income like this?
16 cents per gallon? That’s nothing.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul.........
I can only afford 5 gallons...so $.80
NYS 29.1 cents per gallon for gasoline and 32.6 cents per gallon for diesel.
even wi the cut, it’s still more than the station owners make...
Just in time for the 50 cent hike that seems to be going across the country.
Midterm election gimmick.
NY gas tax is high. Not California high but high.
This is a Governor election year. That what that is about
That would be awesome here in Nevada. If they cut the price by 16 cents it would drop to a reasonable $5.60. But at least there are no more mean tweets
Who wants to bet that once the price of gasoline drops, NY State will double the fuel tax to make up for the lost revenue and of course it will be temporary 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’d take it, too. here in CA I believe it’s about $.54, and it looks like the Legislature is going to suspend it for a year. That’s a bit more meaty. We do have nearly a $100B surplus, so it’s nice of them to throw some crumbs to the masses
Somehow they’ll make that money back in some way you won’t see.
