The governor of Indiana, Mike Brown, has extended the state of emergency in the energy sector for another 30 days, citing Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil refineries as one of the reasons. The emergency declaration, which includes the suspension of two fuel taxes—gasoline use tax and gasoline excise tax—will remain in effect from August 7 to September 5, 2026. This marks the fifth extension of the energy emergency in Indiana, initially declared in April. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright previously noted that Ukraine’s strikes on Russian refineries have disrupted global diesel fuel supplies, contributing to price fluctuations in the fuel market. *(Note: The original article appears to contain a future date—August 6, 2026—which may be an error.
