The proposal comes at the same time the federal government and presidential candidates are debating a federal "holiday" from gas taxes.
Senate Republicans claim the bill would save New Yorkers about 32 cents per gallon in state petroleum business, sales and motor fuel excise taxes.
Opponents say they don't trust the oil industry not to jack up prices to eliminate any savings.
The Senate passed the measure 46-to-15 on Wednesday.
