not legal as road use tax was not added to sell price...ez to catch due to coloring added to heating fuel oil...your engine can't tell which it guzzles.

Can diesel and crude diesel be mixed and legally run on the highway?

Crude oil is not diesel fuel - it is crude oil, and you really do not want to run this through your engine. Pre-EPA2010 diesels and off-highway diesels are able to run off waste oil if so desired, but this requires pre-heating and straining of the oil (and this is oil which is already processed, not crude oil). Aside from that, such a mixture wouldn't be legal for any on-highway applications.
