Think about it.... if you are operating a vehicle on anything other than taxed fuel on state and federal roads you are tax evaiding. That includes alternative fuels like WVO, virgin oil, electric batteries, solar and methane from pig poo....... The laws are so out of date and cannot realistically be inforced for passenger vehicles. The only worry regarding the use of high sulfur red dyed diesel would be passing the state emission tests if your state requires one like Massachusetts.
Cheers,
heaven forbid the tax man not get his pound of flesh from everyone.....
