Pay Less at the Pump Act of 2026
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Not yet voted on. This bill is still a proposal: it hasn't reached a floor vote, and its text can change in committee or on the floor before any vote.

Pay Less at the Pump Act of 2026
This bill eliminates the excise tax on domestic crude oil and imported petroleum products (known as the petroleum Superfund tax rate) beginning on January 1, 2026. The bill also eliminates the authority for advances to the Hazardous Substance Superfund from the General Fund of the U.S. Treasury.
Under current law, the petroleum Superfund tax rate imposed is 27 cents per barrel (in 2026 and indexed annually for inflation). Amounts collected from this tax are deposited into the Hazardous Substance Superfund, which finances the remediation of certain environmentally contaminated sites.
Further, under current law, the authority for advances to be appropriated to the Hazardous Substance Superfund extends through 2032.
