What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Governor Katie Hobbs issued an executive order to lower fuel costs for farmers and truckers across Arizona. The order temporarily lifted restrictions on using red-dyed diesel fuel for agricultural operations and increased the weight limit to 90,800 pounds for vehicles transporting agricultural goods on non-interstate highways. The action was taken as diesel fuel prices surged far north of $6 a gallon.
