Old days? Still very much so today here in the US. It is called 'off

Don't know the price difference but I'd suspect it's substantial. As
the penalties for using it for inappropriately.
I've heard stories of inspectors going to county fairs and checking
the color of the diesel in the fuel tanks of pickup trucks. If you're
caught using the off-road diesel, the penalties are rather severe.

From personal observation, I can tell you that those "tales" are true.
'off road' diesel fuel is intended for construction equipment and farm
implements mainly. The tax implications are rather serious, especially
here in Illinois, with some of the highest fuel taxes in the US.
