President Donald Trump signed an executive order this month to defer federal diesel taxes and temporarily restrict penalties for red dye-diesel.
Here's a rundown of what the order proposes and what state and federal gas taxes look like across the country.
Does Trump's diesel order get rid of gas taxes?
The order provides a temporary exemption for federal diesel taxes through the end of the year.
The federal excise tax on diesel totals to 24.4-cents-per-gallon.
The order, however, does not eliminate state diesel tax.
Trump's executive order also does not lift any state laws or penalties for highway use of red-dye diesel (typically used by farmers and off-road vehicles), meaning, unless your state has already enforced penalty exemptions, the executive order likely will not impact you in that capacity.
Which states have the highest, lowest diesel taxes?
Some states with the highest diesel taxes include California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Washington.
Some states with the lowest diesel taxes include Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, Oklahoma and Texas.
Will Trump's diesel tax exemption benefit me?
If you regularly purchase diesel, the tax exemption could shave some money off of your overall bill through the end of the year.
However, your overall payment will still depend on your state's diesel tax.
Farmers, agricultural workers and other laborers will most likely get the most from the section of the executive order that allows red dye diesel use on the highway, so long as their state has already backed down on penalties.
Red dye diesel is already tax exempt but not permitted on highways. Some states have temporarily cut down their penalties so that farmers and haulers may benefit from non-taxed diesel for work that involved highway travel.
