Fuel Issues

Consumers and industries are growing increasingly frustrated with rising fuel costs, triggered by the war with Iran, tariffs, and other Trump administration trade policies. With Election Day around the corner, several states have responded by suspending gas taxes or rolling back regulations on diesel fuel. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to expand access nationwide to tax-free diesel fuel, known as red-dyed diesel, and announced a deal with President Vladimir Putin of Russia that would supply diesel to the global market.
