Military and Veterans Fuel Discount Act of 2026

This bill would allow the Secretary of Defense to run a program giving eligible patrons a discount on gas and diesel sold at military exchange stores and pumped directly into their own vehicles, as long as a federal fuel tax applies. The discount would be at least equal to the federal fuel tax rate, and no less than 18.4 cents per gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel. The Secretary could add an extra discount where state or local fuel taxes apply, and would have to update rules to prevent fraud and the resale or commercial use of discounted fuel. The authority would end on September 30, 2029, and the Secretary would report yearly to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees on the program's use and cost.
