SirNik84: that will not work sadly. you see that would make it an illegal tax.

First you would be paying it twice (since they CLEARLY would not remove the fuel tax they would want both)

But then currently its an excise tax. this means it taxes WHAT YOU USE if you do not use it you do not pay it.

To make it an apportioned tax is very different (like your state income tax)

You would then be "adding" effectively to your state tax. What happens to the person with the electric car or the person who gets 50mpg and are paying the same tax as the person who gets 8mpg with there motorhome.

They simply should not be bothering these people. as long as they are not selling is distributing the fuel they are breaking no laws and the state critters need to back off.

That would be like charging you a fine for adding some "additive" to your fuel you bought from pepboys I mean your buying 16oz less gas for that tank your sticking it to the state for 16oz of tax.

My taxes pay for the road. Accusing me of tax evasion for not paying for gasoline is like accusing someone of tax evasion for using a bicycle or for not paying ENOUGH taxes because they use a motorcycle and get 50mpg or better.

Its silly and they know it someones got a big stick up there butts and needs someone to grab that stick and twist it a bit. Wake them up.
