But that aside, how am I STEALING any dollars by burning FREE vegetable oil that I PROCESS???? Who am I stealing from???? My reduced consumption of diesel hardly constitutes stealing.... I figure if I burn WVO half the time, I'm getting 50 miles per gallon of diesel fuel burned, does this mean by driving a TDI jetta is stealing? Would an even more efficient auto like an Opel eco-speedster or a Loremo (not out yet) that get over 120mpg be even more criminal? What is it you are trying to say?
Well, if you don't like it here (where sometimes you lose and sometimes you win), go to Utopia (the perfect land), is what I said.

If my understanding is wrong, and it could be, and the fuel tax is simply an excise tax only, the answer is nobody. However, if the fuel tax goes into highway, road, street, fuel tank cleanup, etc, etc, then you are making others pay for your share of the road.
