đš BREAKING: đșđž Trump Reportedly Signs Order Letting Tax-Free Red Diesel Run on US Highways
The move would allow dyed off-road diesel, normally reserved for farms and heavy equipment, on public roads for the rest of 2026.
It's the same fuel. The red dye only marks that highway taxes weren't paid: 24.3 cents a gallon federal, plus about 35.5 cents in state taxes on average. Louisiana and Nebraska had already eased the rules on their own.
The catch: analysts say it won't lower the wholesale price. Refiners still get market rates, so the relief comes from skipped taxes, not more supply.
For markets, cheaper fuel at the pump cools inflation a little, and every bit helps the case for a Fed on hold.
Watch whether pump prices actually fall, and whether the diesel export-ban talk comes back.
Not financial advice.
