This bill gives the Secretary of Defense permission to create a fuel discount program at military exchange gas stations. The discount would be at least equal to the federal gas tax — 18.4 cents per gallon for regular gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel. The program would run through September 30, 2029, and the discount would apply automatically at the pump.
Anyone already allowed by law to shop at military exchange stores could receive the discount. That group generally includes active-duty service members, military retirees, veterans with certain disability ratings, and their dependents.
If the Secretary chooses to start the program, eligible people would pay less per gallon when fueling their own vehicles at participating base stations. Congress would receive a yearly report on fuel sold, discount costs, and any problems that came up.
