Red-Dyed Diesel Made Available to Lower Fuel Prices—Where You Can Buy It
The Trump administration is considering regulatory relief that would allow broader sales of red-dyed diesel.
The White House is exploring the possibility of allowing broader sales of red-dyed diesel to help alleviate skyrocketing diesel prices. Red-dyed diesel, typically used for non-road purposes, generally evades federal and state fuel taxes, making it significantly cheaper than conventional diesel fuel. President Donald Trump has indicated serious consideration of a ban on diesel exports, which could help lower gasoline prices for cars.
Red-dyed diesel is widely available across the U.S., primarily sold by agricultural fuel suppliers, farm co-ops, bulk fuel distributors, commercial fueling depots, and some truck stops. If approved, this measure could potentially reduce diesel costs by 4-6 percent, providing immediate relief for farmers and truckers during the harvest season.
However, experts caution that this solution may not address the underlying global supply shortage issues causing the price surge.
