The end of 'red diesel'?

[richy_B]

Ive been reading about the potential for doing away with lower duty rate diesel. Under the guise of the environment but I'm a cynic. 

 

I'm not sure it'll be the hardest hit for the arb industry but it'll still be costs up/returns down.

If it’s the same for everyone it’s a good idea.

One of my reasons for choosing EFI over Deeezle was Macron's proposed scrapping of tax advantages on GNR (red) fioul.

This reform has been delayed due to the civil unrest.

that will go through as you say then them who are entitled to the lower rate i.e farmers, commercial fishing, forestry etc will be allowed to claim the duty back, this will stop joe public running cars on red and one guy i know who breaks cars up used to run his recovery truck of the diesel he removed from the cars but not nowadays as he reckons over 50% are on red, a one colour fuel would be better but fuel theft will rise from farms for sure,

Going to add a couple of pounds to a cube of logs but it makes sense. Far too much abuse of the current rules

It will put the cost of everything up. How much more would quarried stone cost for example? Excavators and crushers running on white!!

 

how about we enforce existing laws first? It’s not hard. Pull a few gypos running their transits on red and make an example of them. Why should I put road fuel in a generator??
