Governor Mike Braun announced Thursday he is extending his suspension of Indiana’s gas taxes.
The suspension of the Gasoline Usage Tax and Gasoline Excise Tax will last for an additional 30 days.
The state’s gas tax holiday saves consumers about 60-cents per gallon.
Triple-A says the average price of gas in Indiana Thursday stood at $3.13 per gallon.
The governor has ordered his administration to repay local governments for gas tax money lost after he suspended the state gas tax over the past few months in response to high gas prices.
All local governments are expected to be fully repaid by November 1st.
The state is losing about $140 million in revenue for each month of the gas tax holiday.
Those funds would normally be channeled to state road construction projects.
