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.

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.

Not the federal tax but there are a very few states that allow the state
tax to be recovered.

So? The discussion is about user fees paying for aviation being embedded in the
aviation fuel tax. Which auto fuel users are evading.

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.

Well then people who use the mixture control are cheating the
government too. Everyone should to run the mixture full rich all the
time in order to maximize the total taxes paid. Flying at reduced
power is also bad. And anyone who doesn't fly a large twin is just a
greedy Republican who should burn in hell for not paying taxes.

The two situations do not compare at all.

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.
