Today, we saw a gas station that had different prices advertised for "diesel" and "off-road diesel"

does anyone know what that means?

@Felthry Off-road diesel is taxed differently, and dyed for easy testing and tracing, as it's primarily used by agricultural equipment.

It is illegal to fuel a road vehicle with off-road diesel due to its different tax status.
