What happened
Ohio U.S. Senator Moreno called for a temporary federal suspension of the gas tax, citing high prices at the pump. This request follows the state of Ohio passing and signing a suspension of its own gas tax. The federal tax currently stands at 18 cents per gallon for unleaded gasoline and 24 cents per gallon for diesel.

Why it matters
The call for a federal suspension comes as the state of Ohio's gas tax suspension runs through January 2, unless extended by state lawmakers. The average price of unleaded gas in Ohio was reported at $3.87, which is lower than the national average of $4.36.
