What happened
President Donald Trump signed an executive order permitting the use of dyed off-road diesel fuel for highway travel in North Dakota. Normally reserved for agricultural machinery and construction equipment, this red dyed diesel is taxed at 4 cents per gallon, compared to 23 cents per gallon for standard highway diesel. The order was signed to help drivers reduce fuel expenses amid rising diesel prices.
