![]() "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:yoEyf.708533$_o.236451@attbi_s71... So, Jay, how much aviation fuel tax did you pay last year? Not sure. Probably more than most, though, since every time we leave Iowa City (which we do a LOT), we are stuck buying that crappy Avgas. The real question is why more airports don't sell car gas -- with the av-tax added. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Let's do the math. (Hours flown * Gal/Hr)*0.92 |

Let's do the math. (Hours flown * Gal/Hr)*0.92 With Jay, it's not that simple. Jay hauls car gas out to the airport and fuels from his own tank when possible. The only time he pays the avgas taxes is when he fuels up away from home. That's why he's not sure.

He's paying road tax for fuel not used on the road. Which is more, the aviation tax or the road tax? |

But it is possible for him to claim a refund for the mogas tax.
.... and if he does, then it's a simple matter to subtract that gas from his total gas (calculated from hours) and arrive at the desired figure. Jose -- Money: what you need when you run out of brains. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Not the federal tax but there are a very few states that allow the state
tax to be recovered. Larry Dighera wrote: On Mon, 16 Jan 2006 10:12:27 -0700, Newps wrote in :: He's paying road tax for fuel not used on the road. Which is more, the aviation tax or the road tax? But it is possible for him to claim a refund for the mogas tax. |

Well he is sucking the public tit and should make a donation the FAA in an amount equal to what the tax would have been less the FED tax on the motor gas. |

If I use what they call around here Farm Fuel (Same gas no road tax applied)in my car and drive it on the highway I'm committing a crime. I think there should be some way for those that use mogas to pay the $0.92 that the avgas users pay. |
