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.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.


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.

That would take some ammo out of the FLAK of the "user fee" crowd.

Did you arrive at an answer yet? When you do, make sure to divide the
resulting $ figure by 4.76, because federal av gas tax is 19.3 cents per
gallon.

Actually it is 19.4 cent per gal. I have no ideas why I typed .92.
