Not many locations selling Low sulfur Diesel

We get dipped in Oregon quite a bit. When I ran feet diesels with a tank in the bed during my heavy construction years. It was happening annually.
I did throw off road diesel in my rig one time when my needle gave out.

In CA, level 1 and 2 inspections they always look at the water separator for red dye. Ironically it's in plain view normally through the passenger side wheel well. Easily identifiable from scale house when rolling through. When doing daily runs through the scales ATF is doing minimum of quarterly tank dips.

I think CA, OR and WA are the strictest states when it comes to regulations in regards to fuel tax fraud. And it's a serious crime that constitutes a felony and serous fines and prison time.

Of course if you are a murderer, child molester, and any other low life scum injuring or killing others, it's a slap on the wrist and back on the streets to commit more crime.

In NE, you pay a fee/tax when you register/get plates on an EV every year.

You don't have to use red fuel in farm equipment. You can ask for a "refund" on your fed and state taxes, depending on how many gallons used in a year. But it's soooo much easier, in soooo many ways to have, off and on road fuel tanks at the house.

Off topic, but you can still get a tax refund on gasoline gallons that are used on the farm. There still are a few small antique tractors that run augers, burning gasoline. Then there are the atv/utv, mowers, etc fuel use.

Back to the Bio diesel. Unless a #2 diesel pump has more than 5% biodiesel in it, it does NOT have to be reported or displayed. So, pretty much any diesel you buy has biodiesel of at least 5%. I have a huge Cummins engine in my motorhome and most all diesel available on the west coast is 20$ bio. I don't see any significant change in mileage or performance. My 40 diesel motorhome averages 6.6 mpg and we live in California, so it's pricey to fuel.

Those on here who have diesel trucks and drive quite a bit, should look at the Open Roads discount fuel card. It's a brokerage company that offers a card good at most large diesel stations like Loves, Petro, TA , and many others. The discount varies between stations and states. At a TA in Yuma, I got $1.06 a gallon off of the price. Most savings are .25 -.50 cents a gallon.
