The good news is, there are forms you can fill out to get a full refund of the federal and state "road tax" for road diesel fuel used for non-road purposes -- comes out to 46.5¢/gallon in rebates in NH.

I've never done this, but some of the heating oil dealers do have pumps out front and sell it as "off road diesel", with no tax charged.

I assume they sell their ORD at the same price as they'd charge to deliver heating oil, looks like $5.40/gallon in S.NH today.
Sites like Gasbuddy do pretty good at keeping their gasoline prices updated, but are often way off on diesel fuel prices. Actual prices today for fully-taxed road diesel start at $5.39/gallon, though you can do better with memberships (e.g. BJs in Nashua is $5.10 for members) and gas cards.
