西弗吉尼亚州宣布60天紧急状态：允许卡车使用红色免税柴油上路
西弗吉尼亚州州长帕特里克·莫里西10月20日宣布全州55个县进入为期60天的紧急状态，暂时豁免在公共道路上使用红色染色柴油的处罚。红色柴油通常只供拖拉机、工程机械等非道路设备使用，因税收待遇不同而比普通公路柴油便宜。
州政府估计，此举可为司机每加仑节省20.5美分，加满200加仑油箱约省41美元。该行动呼应了特朗普总统10月5日允许临时联邦豁免的行政令。
莫里西在声明中说："运输成本影响我们在杂货店和整个经济中支付的价格。今天，我们给企业和市民一个降低这些成本的机会，让节省惠及西弗吉尼亚家庭。
"根据州长办公室引用的AAA数据，西弗吉尼亚州柴油价格当天达到每加仑6.34美元，而一年前为3.57美元。州政府警告，飙升的燃油成本威胁基本物资配送、农业和应急服务，煤炭、天然气和林业运营尤其脆弱。
燃料经销商和卡车停靠站此前因担心被追缴递延的联邦燃油税，对销售红色柴油一直犹豫不决。
West Virginia Declares 60-Day Emergency: Trucks Allowed to Use Tax-Free Red Diesel on Highways
West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced on October 20 a 60-day state of emergency covering all 55 counties, temporarily suspending penalties for using red-dyed diesel fuel on public highways. Red diesel is normally reserved for off-road equipment such as tractors and construction machinery and is cheaper than regular highway diesel because of its different tax treatment.
The state estimates the move will save drivers 20.5 cents per gallon — about $41 on a 200-gallon fill-up. The action echoes President Trump's October 5 executive order allowing a temporary federal waiver.
In a statement, Morrisey said: "Transportation costs affect the prices we pay at the grocery store and throughout our economy. Today, we're giving businesses and citizens an opportunity to lower those costs, so that savings will benefit West Virginia families." According to AAA data cited by the governor's office, diesel prices in West Virginia reached $6.34 per gallon that day, compared with $3.57 a year earlier.
The state warned that soaring fuel costs threaten essential deliveries, agriculture and emergency services, with coal, natural gas and forestry operations especially vulnerable. Fuel distributors and truck stops had previously hesitated to sell red diesel over fears they would be stuck with deferred federal fuel taxes.
