Stop Gasoline Exports

Stop Gasoline Exports!

High gasoline and diesel prices are wiping consumers out at the pump — and it's not because of supply chain issues. Gasoline is sold to the highest bidder, and right now, oil companies can make record profits selling gasoline to other countries — which is driving up prices at home and hitting your wallet.

Big Oil is exploiting the high prices they’ve created to call for more drilling and fracking — which would only lock us into decades of more greenhouse gas pollution and accelerate climate change. That's the last thing we need.

The best long-term protection for consumers, global stability and our climate is a rapid transition off fossil fuels. But we also need to control gas prices now by reining in exports with the Gasoline Export Ban Act.

Take action below to urge your member of Congress to pass the Gasoline Export Ban Act.

Dear Representative,

Gasoline prices are out of control, and working families desperately need relief. I urge you to support any efforts to halt gasoline exports.

The high prices at the pump we’re facing right now are not the result of supply chain issues or bans on new drilling. Nearly all of the gasoline sold is produced in the U.S. But right now, oil companies can make more profit by selling gasoline to other countries, which is driving up prices.

We are exporting near-record levels of gasoline and diesel. So instead of begging CEOs to offer up solutions, I urge you to support a more direct step to alleviate the pain being felt by families. We need to rein in gasoline exports as part of a strategy to reduce fossil fuel dependence across the economy.

In the long term, the best way to meet our energy needs is to double down on bold investments in renewable energy while shutting down the fossil fuel industry. A rapid transition off fossil fuels will be the best protection for consumers, global stability and our climate.

I urge you to support the Gasoline Export Ban Act and all efforts to stop gasoline exports, control prices at home and protect our climate.

Sincerely,
