9月，美国柴油价格首次突破每加仑6美元。为在中期选举前降低民众成本，特朗普总统允许原本专供农场和越野用途的免税染色柴油在高速公路上使用。
US diesel prices topped $6 a gallon for the first time in September. President Trump moved to lower costs ahead of the midterm elections by allowing tax-free, dyed diesel normally reserved for farms and off-road use onto highways.
9月，美国柴油全国平均价格首次突破每加仑6美元，燃料供应中断导致全国运输成本上升。随着中期选举临近，唐纳德·特朗普总统决定临时允许卡车在公共高速公路上使用原本专供农场和越野设备的免税染色柴油。
The US national average diesel price topped $6 a gallon in September for the first time ever, as fuel supply disruptions pushed up transportation costs nationwide. With midterm elections approaching, President Donald Trump moved to temporarily let trucks use tax-free, dyed diesel normally reserved for farms and off-road equipment on public highways.
此举正值涉及伊朗和乌克兰的冲突持续冲击全球能源市场之际，炼油厂产能受限进一步加剧了司机和货运公司面临的供应压力。白宫表示，该措施为临时性政策，不会影响联邦道路税收入。
The step comes as conflicts involving Iran and Ukraine continue to rattle global energy markets, with constrained refinery capacity adding to the supply pressure facing drivers and freight companies. The White House said the measure is temporary and will not affect federal road-tax revenue.
卡车行业团体对这一举措表示欢迎，但一些经济学家警告称，若将价格较低的染色柴油大规模引入高速公路，最终可能会影响联邦基础设施的资金投入。该行业正密切关注这一豁免政策将持续多久。
Trucking industry groups welcomed the move, though some economists warned that diverting cheaper dyed diesel onto highways could eventually dent federal infrastructure funding if the practice becomes widespread. The industry is watching closely for how long the exemption will last.
