Armstrong is now expanding the permitted uses of red-dyed diesel fuel to allow for on-highway use. This fuel is normally only allowed for certain off-highway agricultural, industrial and railroad purposes. Armstrong issued an executive order today allowing licensed motor vehicles to use red-dyed fuel for ag operations. In North Dakota, people are charged an excise tax of 23 cents per gallon on regular diesel fuel but only four cents per gallon for red-dyed diesel. “Record high diesel prices are squeezing our ag producers, and this is a meaningful and timely step we can take to provide temporary relief and help our farmers and ranchers through the harvest season,” Armstrong said.
