密歇根宣布能源紧急状态：农用与伐木车辆年底前可用免税染色柴油上路，每加仑省52美分
兰辛——密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默10月12日签署第2026-15号行政令，宣布全州进入能源紧急状态，允许挂农用或木材采伐牌照的车辆即日起至2026年12月31日在州内公路上使用免税的染色柴油，免除每加仑52美分的州柴油税，且不计利息与罚款；该豁免不适用于商业营运牌照车辆。
惠特默在行政令中写道：“密歇根的农民和伐木工人正承受创纪录柴油价格、微薄利润和显著市场波动带来的前所未有的财务压力——这些成本有时会转嫁给消费者。这些行业本就为非公路设备购置和储备了大量染色柴油，因此让合资格的上路车辆临时使用这种燃料，可以立即纾困。”
背景是柴油价格持续创下新高：行业报道称柴油价格已升至每加仑约6.2美元，今年以来涨幅超过70%；免税染色柴油价格在10个月内也上涨逾72%。本月早些时候，密歇根农业局牵头、另外19家州级商品与农业企业组织联署致信州长，要求发布行政令给予90天临时减免，并指出2005年卡特里娜飓风后前州长格兰霍姆曾有类似先例。农业局主席本·拉克罗斯表示，任何一点节省都能帮助农民和伐木工人完成秋收、保持农产品流通。全国玉米种植者协会主席、密歇根农场主马特·弗罗斯蒂克则说，春季的化肥高价加上秋季的柴油高价，正在不断侵蚀农场今年的账面。
据农业媒体统计，今秋全美已有十多个州宣布柴油减负措施。GSM此前已报道，伊利诺伊州州长普利兹克签署行政令允许染色柴油上路、印第安纳州延长燃油税减免、密苏里州扩大染色柴油豁免，联邦层面特朗普也已签署柴油税减免行政令——密歇根是最新加入的一州。

Whitmer Declares Michigan Energy Emergency, Lets Farm and Logging Vehicles Use Dyed Diesel Through Year-End
LANSING, Mich. — Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Executive Order 2026-15 on October 12, declaring a statewide energy emergency and allowing vehicles with farm or wood-harvester license plates to use tax-free dyed diesel on Michigan highways effective immediately through December 31, 2026. The order waives the 52-cent-per-gallon state diesel tax without interest or penalties for eligible agricultural and logging vehicles; it does not apply to commercial for-hire plated vehicles.
"Michigan's farmers and loggers face unprecedented financial strain from record-high diesel prices, tight margins, and significant market volatility — costs that sometimes pass to consumers," Whitmer wrote in the order. "These industries already purchase and maintain substantial supplies of dyed diesel for off-road equipment. Therefore, granting eligible highway-licensed vehicles temporary access to this fuel would provide immediate relief."
Diesel prices have climbed to record levels — reported at about $6.20 a gallon, up more than 70% this year alone — while dyed diesel prices have risen over 72% in 10 months. Earlier this month, Michigan Farm Bureau led a letter cosigned by 19 other state commodity and agribusiness organizations asking Whitmer for 90 days of temporary relief, citing a 2005 precedent after Hurricane Katrina. More than a dozen states have now announced diesel cost-relief measures this fall; GSM has previously reported dyed-diesel waivers in Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri and a federal diesel tax-relief executive order.
