Michigan Allows Red-Dyed Diesel for Farm and Logging Trucks

Original: Michigan Opens Red-Dyed Fuel to Farm and Logging Trucks

Michigan is allowing farm and logging trucks to use red-dyed diesel, the cheaper fuel normally reserved for off-road agricultural equipment. The change lowers fuel costs for rural industries, since dyed diesel avoids road taxes. Farmers and loggers stand to benefit most, though the move raises questions about road-funding revenue and whether other states might adopt similar measures.

Why now: A state policy change cutting fuel costs for agriculture and logging is drawing attention from rural industries and energy watchers.
