Crude Oil and Gasoline Export Ban: Lower Fuel Prices for Americans

This bill aims to lower fuel prices in the United States by prohibiting the export of domestically produced crude oil and gasoline. This means more fuel will remain in the domestic market, potentially leading to lower gas station costs for drivers. The ban will remain in effect until the average gasoline price drops to early 2022 levels or the conflict between Russia and Ukraine ends.
