Trump Plans To Ease Off-Road Diesel Restrictions Ahead Of Midterms
Bloomberg reported late Monday afternoon that the Trump administration is preparing to loosen restrictions on tax-exempt dyed diesel, seeking to ease costs for the industrial fuel that powers the economy amid a global refining crisis.
The report cites people familiar with the matter, and the new policy could be announced as soon as today.
The plan would allow broader use of dyed diesel, better known as off-road diesel, which is mostly used in farm machinery, construction equipment and other off-road applications. This move would allow for savings of 24 cents per gallon because the fuel is exempt from federal excise tax.
"While the move wouldn't directly lower operational costs for harvesters, tractors, excavators and other off-road equipment that already runs on tax-exempt red diesel, it is seen as potentially cutting the expense to run pickup trucks and other on-road vehicles," the outlet said.
As of Monday, US retail diesel ...

Trump Plans to Ease Limits on Tax-Exempt Diesel Variety (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Tom Kloza, chief energy advisor for Gulf Oil, said that it is unlikely President Trump's proposed easing of limits on tax-exempt 'red-dyed diesel' will do much to bring down the price of diesel and that the only thing that will meaningfully impact high prices is an end to ongoing conflicts in Russia and the MidEast.

Trump's Diesel Threat Worked: G7 Dumps 100 Million Barrels As Europe's Energy Dependence Laid Bare
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
In the end, Donald Trump's threat to prohibit diesel exports apparently proved credible after all.
Faced with rapidly rising prices at the pump and an emerging acute shortage of middle distillates, from diesel and heating oil to aviation kerosene, the G7 heads of government decided on Friday, under pressure from the US president, to release their own oil reserves.
For the EU, the perfect storm is brewing: a rising dollar price, the visible control of the Strait of Hormuz by the US military, as well as rising interest rates in the bond markets amid the threat of a sovereign debt crisis, have made the pressure particularly tangible for the EU states: further rising energy prices will hit the fragile eurozone industrial economy considerably harder than the essentially energy-autonomous United States.
The problems of the EU Europeans are homegrown and not the result of Am...

|
|
|
Am Ölmarkt wuchs zuletzt erneut die Sorge vor Lieferengpässen. Doch auf der anderen Seite steuern nun die G7 mit der Freigabe von Reserven dagegen. Denn besonders knapp war zuletzt Diesel.
