Does EIA publish off-road diesel fuel prices?

No, we do not publish prices specifically for off-road diesel fuel, also known as non-road or off-highway diesel fuel.

Off-road diesel fuel is sold for use in equipment and vehicles that are not usually operated on public roadways, such as equipment and vehicles used on farms, railways, construction sites, and for electric power generation. Off-road diesel fuel is not subject to the state and federal excise taxes applied to the retail sale of diesel fuel used in vehicles operated on public roadways. Off-road diesel fuel is dyed red (as is heating oil) to distinguish it from on-highway diesel fuel.
