diesel rebate

Back when I bought my first diesel truck in 1994, I received a government rebate of around $1500.
I recently purchased a 2018 new. Is there still a rebate for diesel that I'm not aware of?
  • Not unless you live in Virginia, your truck weighs less than 8,000 lbs, and you buy your diesel fuel at retail, in which case there is a fuel tax rebate program. The downside is that you have to file for it, keep your receipts, and last year, with two diesel vehicles, I got back about $50.
  • If they wanted to encourage the use of a more efficient engine, they would charge less tax on diesel fuel, not more.
  • Back a few years ago we got credit for a truck that weighed 6,000 lbs or more , stimulate money . Second Bush was prez.
