With the price of gas rising across the U.S., lawmakers are developing a string of proposals to help motorists - from $400 rebates for all taxpayers in California to imposing windfall taxes on oil companies or a sliding scale of payments that could net families as much as $300 every month.
The average cost of a gallon has raced past $4 a gallon amid domestic inflation and the impact of Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.
This week, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in Los Angeles hit a record $6.011, even as the national average continued to decline slightly from the all-time high earlier this month, according to the AAA Gas Price Index.
An opinion poll published Wednesday found that almost three quarters of voters were in favor of a holiday from federal energy taxes to ease the burden.
And lawmakers across the country are pushing legislation to bring down prices at the pumps.
A new bill proposed by three Democrats - Reps. Mike Thompson of California, John Larson of Connecticut and Lauren Underwood of Illinois - could be worth $300 each month to some families if the price of a gallon stays above $4.

You have a suspiciously short memory, Mr. Lopez. You seem to have conveniently forgotten that things were much better after Trump was elected, in spite of the 2000 ton weight of deep state bureaucratic inertia weighing him down at every turn or the attempted coup being waged by his supposed executive subordinates or the left-wing media blitz pushing the false Russian conspiracy narrative to discredit him or the lackluster support he received from his so-called Republican allies in Congress. I won't bore everyone here be relisting all of his accomplishments during his short four years in office again. We all (except, strangely enough, for you, Mr. Lopez) know them by heart. Instead I'll ask you outright if you are a left-wing troll whose real purpose here is to try and cast doubt on Trump's amazing abilities or his America-First intentions? If so, you have failed miserably. We conservatives have gotten wise to the underhanded methods of you lefties and we are not buying it! Go pedal your false distrust of Trump’s motives somewhere else! I doubt you would know a real Conservative if he were standing right in front of you!
They can stick their $300 were the sun don't shine. Do they think that only GAS inflation in the problem. They do not have to go shopping so have no clue what they are causing.
Shirley, They know exactly what they are causing!!!!! It is very intentional as they want to destroy the economy, and middle income working class citizens, and to impoverish middle and low income people so we can be enslaved by the new world order globalist tyrants that now rule America!!!!! I am 72, retired on socialist security, and being squeezed by the ultra wealthy political ruling class!!!!! I paid into the political ponzi schemes of social security and medicare for 50 years and found out a few months ago that they are taking $170 per month out of my social security to make me pay for the medicare that I don't use because I am in good health. I had a severe stroke in August 2014, before medicare kicked in and am still very disabled from it but other than that am in excellent health!!!!! I have been an athlete all my life and only stopped my daily workout regimine when paralysis from the stroke made it impossible!!!!! They damage they are doing is calculated to get people to come to them begging for help but I WILL NOT crawl onmy belly to them!!!!! I may starve to death but the political ruling class will never see me begging them for anything!!!!!!!!!!
