So if you intend to go flying and taxi to the gas pump only to find they

out of fuel, then taxi back to the hangar - you can log the time to the

Nope. You taxied to the fuel pumps with the intention of fueling the
aircraft.
Once at the pumps, you shut down. End of cycle. Next engine start you go
from
the fuel pumps to the runway (with the intention of flying), and that taxi
time
would count.
Actually, I was taxiing PAST the fuel pumps with my little heart set on
flying, but then realized I needed fuel and a Snickers, so I stopped.
Why am I reminded of the Orwellian concept of Thoughtcrime? Much like the
current rage of Hatecrime, the intent of the perpetrator is a factor in the
seriousness of the offense. Here, the intent of the pilot determines the
application of the regulation.
