One place he is dead wrong = non-tax fuel for farms. The diesel must NOT be in any vehicle on the paved roads beyond a tractor moving to another field. ANY farmer playing the game of using red-dyed fuel in transport trucks of any others, can be fined through the nose for such. In addition, they DOT examines all the fuel purchased and applies normal tax (about .36 per gallon) to such. It's not pretty and farmers do not get a tax-free ride on NC highways.
