Re: [Biofuel] The myth behind non-taxable, off-road fuel was Re: There derrivatives of Barrel Oil, have you wondered ?
Here in Montana the differrence is $0.50 per gallon. And that is probably why the Highway Patrol and GVW departments are advertisiing about the illegality of using dyed fuel in your on-road vehicle. Of course, they have to have probable cause to stop you to dip your tank... ___ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
[Biofuel] The myth behind non-taxable, off-road fuel was Re: There derrivatives of Barrel Oil, have you wondered ?
That's only partially true. Compare the price of off-road and on-road diesel. You'll note that the difference is not the approximate $0.50 in state and federal excise taxes assessed per gallon. It's closer to $0.25 per gallon. The petroleum distributors claim that it costs approximately $0.25 per gallon to dye the off-road fuel and then carry the two separate inventories. While part of that argument holds water, most off-road fuel is sold in bulk quantities by specific distributors, not every island at every fuel depot. Essentially, the tax break the government giveth, the petroleum distributors taketh away.

The petroleum distributors claim that it costs approximately $0.25 per gallon to dye the off-road fuel and then carry the two separate inventories. If that's true it's bullshit. I've been to the terminals and worked on their systems. The dye is added at the nozzel going into the truck, not in the storage vessel. There aren't seperated storage tanks for off/on road diesel. Also, there's no way in hell it costs $0.25/gallon. If it did that would be liquid gold given the amount actually added to the fuel. Appal Energy wrote: That's only partially true.
