The only money I got back was something like $20 from my utilities company. That money was for some kind of credit but I have no idea what kind of 'credit'. It was just a one-time thing which all of their customers received.

Giving money back...why oh why would some States do that? Me thinks they know what's coming & I can't wait.

@Desertdi    Yesterday I noticed gas for prices ranging from $3.95 to $4.09 here.  I paid $4.19 during my semi-annual fill up a couple weeks ago.  Naturally, i picked the high point.  I don't do much driving, just short errands.

I thought I heard some states were lowering or eliminating the state gas tax.

Chicago was talking about a $500 gas card but since, thankfully, I don't have a car I haven't paid attention.

A few States will be giving a gas bonus but it won't be the same amount. I think I read where Georgia said they had a surplus so would prefer to do that. There are so many other things that could be done with that surplus here.

Indiana will refund money to taxpayers after the April 18 deadline. The state had a surplus and they expect processing to start May 1. We owed money to the state, so it would be nice to get it back.

Right now our state seems to be keeping our surplus, just like they do every year.  The governor said that they're going to think about some ways perhaps they could give some back to the citizens.

Gas in my town is $3.41 gal.

@Kachina624,

 Hi Kachina624, good for you! I'm in New Jersey and I went for gas yesterday and it was 4.09 for regular.Our Governor is speaking on Monday at 6pm, maybe he will be generous too!

@meallen616    Maybe what we've done will catch on. There are many other states raking in lots of oil money.  Of course there's no telling how long high oil prices or this bounty will continue, which is probably why the IRS hasn't adjusted the mileage allowance.

@Kachina624     Haven't heard anything here about lowering the gas tax...they are too busy with "other things".     I don't drive too much, either, since Covid...try and stay in the neighborhood.    I have a real guzzler, tho....but I knew that when I bought it.     di
