Gasoline Export Ban Act of 2026

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill would stop the United States from selling gasoline to other countries when gas prices at home get too high. Specifically, if the average price of gasoline in the U.S. stays at or above $3.12 per gallon for seven days in a row, exporting U.S.-produced gasoline would be banned. The President would have the power to make exceptions to the ban if allowing certain exports is in the country's best interest.
