印第安纳州州长迈克·布劳恩（共和党）周三表示，由于伊朗战争持续导致燃油价格上涨，他将延长该州的燃油税暂停。
Indiana Gov. Mike Braun (R) said Wednesday he is extending his state’s gas tax suspension as fuel prices elevate due to the ongoing war in Iran“Today I announced another gas tax extension with additional relief for farmers,” Braun said in a post to social platform X. “Our farmers have the hardest job in America.”
“今天我宣布再次延长燃油税减免，并为农民提供额外救助，”布劳恩在社交平台X上发文称。“我们的农民从事着美国最艰苦的工作。”
州长补充道：“全球石油供应持续中断导致的燃油价格上涨，可能会对我们农民的成功以及他们养家糊口的能力产生重大影响。”
“The added cost of fuel prices caused by continued disruptions to the global oil supply can make a major difference in our farmers’ success and their ability to put food on the table for their families,” the governor added.
布劳恩表示，税收暂停将持续“至11月初”。包括爱荷华州和俄亥俄州在内的其他中西部州的立法者和候选人，在高油价和冲突日益不得人心的背景下，呼吁迅速结束伊朗战争。这场冲突导致多位共和党人面临艰难的连选连任竞选。
Braun said the tax suspension would go “through early November.”Lawmakers and candidates in other Midwest states, including Iowa and Ohio, have pushed for a rapid end to the war in Iran amid high fuel prices and the conflict’s increasing unpopularity. The conflict has resulted in multiple Republicans dealing with challenging reelection campaigns.
4月初，布劳恩暂停了该州为期30天的汽油销售税，此后已多次延长。
In early April, Braun halted his state’s sales tax on gas for 30 days and has extended it several times since.
“州政府将监控加油站，确保节省的费用在印第安纳州居民每周或随时加油时都能惠及他们，”州长当时表示。
“The state will be watching the pumps to make sure savings are delivered to Hoosiers when they go to fill up each week, or whenever they do,” the governor said at the time.
自2月下旬美国和以色列发动对伊朗袭击以来，全球能源成本上升，导致霍尔木兹海峡——石油工业的关键水道——实际上关闭。
Global energy costs have risen since the U.S. and Israel launched their attack against Iran in late February, leading to the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a key waterway for the oil industry.
据AAA统计，截至周三晚，美国普通汽油平均价格约为每加仑4.43美元，高于去年同期的约3.15美元。同期，印第安纳州汽油平均价格约为每加仑3.83美元——高于2025年9月的3.09美元。
As of Wednesday night, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. was about $4.43, up from about $3.15 last year at the same time, according to AAA. At the same time, the average price of a gallon of gas in Indiana was about $3.83 — up from $3.09 in September 2025.
