Diesel Gas Station Receipt Example
This receipt documents a near-complete fill-up of a full-size diesel pickup truck at Pump 11. The tank accepted 24.312 gallons of Diesel Fuel #2 ULSD at $4.019 per gallon for a total of $97.71 paid at the pump with a debit card. The higher gallon volume (24+ gallons) and the sub-$100 total are characteristic of a diesel truck fill-up. The federal diesel excise tax ($0.244/gal) is higher than the gasoline rate ($0.184/gal) and is disclosed below the total as an informational note.
This diesel receipt documents 22.5 gallons of diesel at $3.89/gal at a Pilot Flying J truck stop, totaling $87.53 including federal excise tax ($0.244/gal x 22.5 = $5.49) — typical for a long-haul truck refuel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this diesel fuel receipt show?
This receipt shows one fuel line: DIESEL FUEL #2 ULSD: 24.312 GAL @ $4.019/GAL = $97.71. The header shows the station name, address, and Pump 11. The subtotal and total are both $97.71 because the federal and state diesel excise taxes are already included in the posted pump price. Below the total, a tax disclosure note states the federal diesel excise tax ($0.2440/gal × 24.312 gal = $5.93) and state diesel excise tax ($0.3200/gal × 24.312 gal = $7.78) included in the price. Payment: Debit ****6491.
Why is diesel usually more expensive per gallon than regular gasoline?
Diesel fuel requires more refining than regular gasoline: the sulfur content must be reduced to meet Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) standards of 15 parts per million or less. The federal diesel excise tax is also higher at $0.244/gal versus $0.184/gal for gasoline. Beyond taxes and refining, diesel demand from commercial trucking is more consistent than gasoline demand, making diesel prices less responsive to seasonal factors and creating periods where diesel prices exceed regular gasoline by $0.50–$1.00 per gallon.
What does ULSD mean on a diesel receipt?
ULSD stands for Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel, the only grade of on-road diesel fuel sold in the United States since 2006. It contains a maximum of 15 parts per million (ppm) of sulfur, reduced from the previous standard of 500 ppm. ULSD is required to protect the catalytic converters and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) in modern diesel engines. Older diesel receipts may show DIESEL FUEL #2 without the ULSD designation; newer pumps typically display both.
