Cheaper Diesel for RVers? The New Order Comes With Conditions
An October 5 executive order aims to temporarily allow red-dyed diesel on highways through the end of 2026. Diesel RV and tow-vehicle owners could benefit, but eligibility, state restrictions, and tax details still need clarification. The proposal postpones certain taxes rather than erasing them, so a cheaper fill-up may come with a tax bill later.
Why Your Fuel Stop May Hold Off on Selling Red-Dyed Diesel
Fuel-industry groups are advising retailers to wait for clearer federal and state rules before changing their dyed-diesel sales. Their concerns include unpaid taxes, potential liability, and dye remaining in fuel systems after the temporary relief ends. Supplying the fuel brings another hurdle: many stations lack the dedicated equipment and supply arrangements to offer it.
New RV Sales Are Down. Used RVs Tell a Different Story.
Used-RV registrations rose 2.4% during the first five months of 2026, while new registrations fell 16.4%. Buyers are still choosing pre-owned rigs, but stronger demand does not mean every used RV is gaining value. Auction prices, dealer selling prices, and values across RV types show different trends, making comparable models and condition a better guide for buyers and sellers.
The Same 1,000-Mile Diesel RV Trip Now Costs About $325 More
At October 9 national averages, a diesel rig getting 8 mpg would use about $785 in fuel on a 1,000-mile trip, compared with $460 a year earlier. Gasoline travelers face higher bills, too, despite recent price declines. Regional differences remain large, so checking fuel prices along your route could help trim the cost.
Your RV Could Fit at This Proposed National Park but Be Too Long for the Scenic Drive
Congress has approved making Arizona’s Chiricahua National Monument the nation’s 64th national park, with a presidential signature still unconfirmed in the October 12 report. Bonita Canyon Campground allows individual vehicles or trailers up to 29 feet, but the scenic drive prohibits vehicles over 24 feet and all trailers. Larger rigs can stay nearby and visit in a smaller vehicle.
