Speaking of Fuel Ripoffs...

Got a fuel bill from our FBO (KUMP Indianapolis Metro) the other day.
Not only do they charge one of the highest fuel prices around, they also
charge 6% Indiana sales tax on top of the 1% Indianapolis Airport
Authority surcharge (because they can).
When I called to inquire about charging 6% sales tax on the fuel they
just said "that is how we've done it for 20 years and everyone else does
it like that too." I've never had a sales tax added on top of the fuel
price before.
I thought that all the taxes we included in the price of the fuel?
Anyone else ever experience this?

I have been to many places around the country in which the local sales
tax was not included in the fuel price but added on to the price of
the fuel. I think it just depends upon how the FBO wants to display
the cost of fuel. It may be a local custom to add the local sales tax
at FBOs around Indianapolis.
