The main purpose of the Gasoline Export Ban Act of 2026 is to prevent the export of gasoline from the United States during times when gasoline prices are high. The goal is to ensure that domestic supply remains available to consumers when prices exceed a certain threshold, thereby helping to stabilize the market and protect consumers from excessive costs. Key provisions of the Act include a clear prohibition on the exportation of gasoline produced in the U.S. whenever the average price of gasoline reaches or exceeds $3.12 per gallon for a week.
