In response to skyrocketing diesel prices, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared a statewide emergency and waived restrictions on dyed diesel, allowing it to be used on Texas roads. This decision aims to alleviate the burden on commercial transportation and address the rising costs of fuel affecting residents and businesses. Commissioner Miller expressed support for Abbott’s measures but emphasized the need for additional actions, including a suspension of the gas tax to further provide relief to Texans. Overall, the state is taking significant steps to manage the fuel crisis and support its economy.
