Where does that leave planes that use Mogas?


That is a difficult issue to resolve. Fortunately Mogas usage, as a
percentage of all aviation fuels consumed in the US, is only a
miniscule fraction.

How about jet fuel?


Perhaps it would be more equitable to levy a per-gallon tax on jet
fuel than to have the current airline ticket tax. That is the counter
proposal the National Business Aviation Association should be
proposing.

How many gallons (not pounds/tons) of fuel does a B-747 hold? :-)
