![]() "Stefan" wrote Third, to correct another misinformation: It's not only avgas which is taxed, but all oil products which is used for engines. (Jet fuel is an exeption, but this is a long story. So let's forget this for the moment.) Yes, auto gas is also highly taxed. But, surprize surprize, car traffic isn't dead at all throughout Europe. Which already is that proof you asked for. Ah, but it does make a very big difference in the mile driven per person, per year, and the cars are generally smaller with better gas economy. The tax in this case is driving at getting to people to use public transportation.. So, to summarize: Yes, there is fewer GA in Europe. But even if you would wipe all avgas taxes, there wouldn't be more. How do you come to that conclusion? -- Jim in NC |
