Don’t Use TSD Fuel Card In Oregon

PUD???

Was $2.50 a gallon competitive with other stations?

The PUD tax is Oregon states fuel tax (road tax), if diesel, did you grab refer fuel instead of truck fuel? Refer fuel isn’t taxed, and is dyed red.

Planned Unit Development

That seems really odd that the state of Oregon applies that across the state as it is usually within a very specific and limited geographic area such as a new housing development, Shopping center or along those lines and generally relates to the development plan about what can and cant happen within the PUD and even then I personally have never seen a PUD tax. I have seen a PIF (Public Improvement Fee) to help pay for infrastructure in a very specific area. Say a new shopping center that required some additional infrastructure then all retail business in that area charge a PIF (which is not a tax) so if you also have to pay sales tax the PIF gets taxed as well. They are usually for a very specific boundary area and for a very specific time period.

This does not make sense are you sure it was a PUD tax, if so must mean something different than the normal definition of a PUD

i know PUD is 'Planned Unit Development' but that makes little sense in the context of the post.

Hi. No. No refer. S15 I believe Or B5/10
Apparently that little gotcha it is buried somewhere in their contract.
Didn’t read it, and not upset about it

Just letting others know who may not be aware and haven’t read it

Thanks for the heads up but please provide more detail. Are you saying that the TSD listed fuel price in OR does not include the 36 cents? Does the station display price include that tax? Since we're usually on the coast and With very few TA TSD stations in OR, not sure I've ever used TSD there.

AZ has a 8 cent tax on trucks which you don't pay with the TSD card. Otherwise you have to tell them you're a RV so you don't pay.

I Googled it. This was the first on the list.
Oregon PUD fuel Tax

I think you mean PUC permit. You will see diesel prices posted at stations and on some web sites that do not include fuel tax. Often stations post the untaxed price and say "w/PUC." The fuel tax for truckers is based on several things including weight, number of axles, etc.

Not every station gives the discount, has to be one in their system. Got an email on it a week or so back. Current best price is T/A. Where did you fuel? Did a quick addition and have saved about $800 so far this year and will likely be $1000 before years end, this being a bad travel year or it would be way more.
