George Patterson 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. Bob Henry |

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. |

Let's do the math. (Hours flown * Gal/Hr)*0.92 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. |
