Drivers would only pay the state gas tax, which went up in New Jersey at the beginning of the year.

Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew, of New Jersey, says he will propose a bill to eliminate the federal gas tax for a year and a half, and slowly bring it back after that.
Democratic Congressmen Brenden Boyle, of Philadelphia, proposed a bill last month to lower the federal gas tax, saying in a new statement that the effort would require the president to work with Congress.
Lawmakers will have to address a few things if it's paused, such as paying for highway maintenance, which depends heavily on the federal gas tax.

Trump would need congressional approval to suspend the federal gas tax, which lawmakers have never done despite efforts in the past.
