The EPA and stealth taxes are dictating auto policy and it needs to stop.

The government is taxing diesel to make it more expensive and the EPA is placing restrictions on rolling coal.

"Diesel fuel, the kind of fuel commonly used in commercial trucks, has not always been more expensive than the standard gasoline used in passenger vehicles. On paper at least, diesel fuel is a less refined petroleum distillate than gasoline, so it should always be cheaper to produce than gasoline. The problem with diesel fuel prices has more to do with the laws of supply and demand for various petroleum products, not the actual cost of production."

Why is Diesel Fuel More Expensive Than Gasoline?

As long as your exhaust goes up in the air like in this video and is not affecting the visibility of other drivers, it should be legal to Roll Coal. The truck in the video is awesome.

"In July 2014, the United States Environmental Protection Agency stated that the practice was illegal, as it violated the Clean Air Act which prohibits the manufacturing, sale, and installation "of a part for a motor vehicle that bypasses, defeats, or renders inoperative any emission control device [and] prohibits anyone from tampering with an emission control device on a motor vehicle by removing it or making it inoperable prior to or after the sale or delivery to the buyer."[12] [13] The New York Times published an article on rolling coal in September 2016."

Additionally, sometime the amount being released isn't enough to be a problem like this motorcyclist.

Not sure why an idiot would want to waste fuel just to make smoke. I guess that's just what idiots do.

I figure to support heavier trucks our roads and bridges are more costly to built and maintained. So spent a few minutes looking for some history and found an article from Business Insider written back in 2013. It speaks of gasoline and diesel being taxed equally but to maintain the infrastructure of the highway system a user fee was placed on trucks. This lead to a truckers strike and violence and the rest is history.

The Surprisingly Violent Story Of How The Trucking Industry Killed Fair Prices For Great Diesel Cars

By February of the next year, The New York Times was referring to the "highly unpopular truck-tax legislation passed in 1982," and Secretary of Transportation Elizabeth Dole put forward a plan to reduce the fee and increase the tax rate on diesel. ​

The reason Diesel is now higher than Gasoline is due to Ethanol lowering the price of gasoline.

No. Big trucks have always paid higher road tax, Rightfully so. Big trucks cause much more wear and tear on our roads. Gasoline has a 18.4 cent per gallon federal tax while diesel has a 24.4 cent federal tax, as well as any state taxes required for both.
