here in north carolina i stopped the other day to fill up and i noticed that on road diesel was $2.09. then i noticed that off road diesel was selling for $2.01. now the normal price everywhere else is around $1.79 for offroad. what gives here. i thought that there was a bigger tax break than 8 cents.

 

The amount of road tax will vary widely between different jurisdictions. It should be consistent within a given taxable area, though. I haven't got a clue as to why it would be different at that one station.

 

Here in WV I think the road tax is .46 cents across the state. You will see some diff. in offroad prices just like on road fuel. Sounds like someone is gouging the consumer.

 

I'm pretty sure NC always has cheaper fuel because of cheaper taxes. Just like MO has way cheaper fuel than KS, and NE has way more expensive fuel than KS. With a lower tax, less of a diff between off/on road fuel.

 

nc is pretty greedy. we arerent any cheaper than the next guy. just more expensive

 

Hey moose , you want to talk about greedy , I saw an artical on the news last week that Kalifornia is thinking of charging motorists a "mile tax" , that is ...you will have to have a recorder ( which you pay for ) installed in your vehicle to record all miles driven then reported to the state and then billed to you . Why ? because the state of Kalifornia is loosing money ( thier story ) on the fuel/gas tax because of cars and trucks getting better mileage !

 

yeah that would be the day! i would kiss bill clintons *** and sell tickets in times square when i would let that happen

 

Soooooo moose ; When do those tickets go on sale !? LOL !!

 

Hi -
How can you find out where off-road diesel is sold?

 

most of the time its sold in rual areas near farms and such.

 

Dont get it for your truck if you go through those checkpoints, youll get fined around 4 grand at least if they catch you with it.

 

Is there a difference in the fuel? How would they know if you were running it? I have never heard of these checkpoints, either.. I wonder if they have this in Texas..?? I would assume they do, if the offroad diesel is meant for farms, etc.

 

it has a red dye, they just stick the tank with a clear straw. I am guessing they have them in texas.

 

they have a sniffer that they put up the exhaust of the truck (newest) also the have a big turkey baster they they stik in the take to see what you have. i run it most of the time but when i have a trailer forget it. i use on road then because you are more llikely to be pulled

 

wow, never have heard of the sniffer, I have yet to be pulled over, but I think mainly because I travel at night, and the trailer I pull is either has my cobra on it, or is an enclosed pullin tractor trailer, most just wave me bye, since its not a stock trailer. I will have to watch out for that. I have to blend the red during the winter anyways, darn summer blends
