What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Donald Trump signed an executive order easing federal enforcement of restrictions on dyed diesel, which is tax-exempt and typically used for off-road equipment like farming machinery. While the order aims to allow more people to use the cheaper fuel, Patrick De Haan of Gas Buddy stated that it will have zero impact on the price of diesel because it does not change the fuel itself. Meanwhile, rising diesel costs in Connecticut, currently over $6.40, have forced some businesses to add fuel surcharges to their trips.
