School buses are exempt from federal fuel taxes so it is very likely your buses were running red dyed diesel (It would also make it easy to see if employees were stealing diesel for their personal vehicles)

Diesel is much slower to evaporate than gasoline. That is why the areas around diesel pumps look like an oil slick unless the fuel station regularly cleans them.
