FAA Fees

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.

And what of the free FAA services the airlines avail themselves of for
the benefit of the general population of airline passengers? Singling
out GA, when the whole nation benefits from the NAS, reveals your
self-serving agenda.

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

Farmers can apply (I think this is how it works) to get the highway tax
money refunded. Could he not, do that, and then pay those taxes along with
the difference in aviation taxes, back to the feds?

Some States will refund taxes paid for non-highway use of road fuel. I could
never figure out how to get such a refund from New Jersey back when I had my
150, and I don't know if Iowa issues such a refund.

As far as paying the funds into the aviation trust fund goes, the Feds will be
happy to take a non-specific contribution into the general fund, but you can't
target the destination like that. We've explored this avenue for contributions
to the NPS and hit a stone wall there.
