Governor Abigail Spanberger signed a temporary waiver on October 17, 2026 that permits the use of red‑dyed diesel fuel on Virginia’s public highways. The measure is aimed at lowering fuel expenses for the state’s farmers and loggers.
Red‑dyed diesel is usually limited to off‑road machinery, but the new waiver expands its application to on‑road use for a limited period to support agricultural and logging operations.
