US weighs red-dyed diesel relief as fuel prices soar

The White House is considering boosting red-dyed diesel availability as an alternative to a full export ban, per unnamed Reuters sources. The measure would ease price pressure for agricultural and construction sectors by increasing tax-free diesel supply, though it remains unclear if it replaces or complements a potential ban. This signals a policy shift toward targeted relief rather than broad export restrictions, with implications for diesel prices and downstream industries.
