In 2022, when gas prices climbed to record highs after Russia invaded Ukraine, Republican leaders in Indiana faced a similar situation but elected not to suspend the gas tax and, instead, capped the tax at $0.295 per gallon.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"211\" height=\"211\" src=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Indiana-GOP.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Indiana-GOP.jpg 211w, https:\/\/masterzradio.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Indiana-GOP-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">x<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<!--AUTO-AD-AFTER-->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;text-align:center\"\n        data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\"\n        data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\n        data-ad-slot=\"9212395598\"><\/ins>\n    <script>(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 This from fox59.com: \u00a0Indiana Gov.
