Trump permits dyed diesel use to cut fuel costs
President Donald Trump issued a decision temporarily allowing the use of red-dyed diesel, which is usually used in agricultural operations and construction machinery, on public roads in the United States. This move aims to help reduce record-high fuel costs, as gasoline prices exceeded $6 per gallon in September due to supply disruptions and the impacts of the war in Ukraine and Iran. The directive also includes postponing the federal tax of 24.4 cents per gallon on the exempted diesel until the end of 2026, potentially saving over one hundred dollars per truck refueling. The goal of the decision is to alleviate the burden of rising fuel prices on families and industries, with the government exploring ways to eliminate the deferred taxes in the future.
