Default 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 stopped overnight at Topeka. Gas prices looked pretty good, until I
got the bill. They added all taxes on to the pump price. I purchased
at Salina on the way back and like Michigan their pump prices included
all taxes. We have sales tax on about everything.
