Tribal Gas Stations Offer Lower Prices Amid Iran War Fuel Spike
About 245 tribes operate 496 gas stations that can offer lower pump prices because state fuel taxes often do not apply on tribal land.
- Gasoline prices surged well over $1 nationwide since the Iran war began Feb. 28, reaching $4.15 per gallon on average, according to AAA data.
- Tribal gas stations are exempt from state gasoline taxes, a principle the Supreme Court has upheld for over a century, enabling lower pump prices across nearly 500 tribally owned stations in the U.S.
- While negotiations in the Iran war progress, economists warn that geopolitical tension will likely continue pushing prices higher and fueling inflation in the weeks ahead.
