How is that relevant? Farmers are such a small percentage of the population (3.4M, so 1-2% of America) that they're not moving the needle much at all. So even if they're all cheating (highly unlikely) all the time, that's still not going to change much of anything for the average person.

It's still a problem, but it has nothing to do with current car prices, gas/diesel taxes, or anything that would impact the average person.
