Can anyone verify this? (from NORDO NEWS)
WHAT DOES JET FUEL HAVE TO DO WITH FLYING A CHAMP? * Why should you be concerned about the recent addition of a highway tax on jet fuel?** Well, the authorities believe highway operators are buying jet fuel because it is cheaper than diesel (no hwy tax) and they are trying to recover the taxes lost by those purchases for highway use.** * Although this provision could have far-reaching negative impacts on the general aviation industry, it raises another question that we haven't heard anyone ask. . . * "How much revenue is the aviation fund (Airway and Airport Trust Fund) loosing every year when pilots buy auto gas for their aircraft?"** * The Airway and Airport Trust Fund provides funding for the federal commitment of the nationšs aviation system through several aviation related excise taxes.* One of the sources of *funding comes from the taxes on avgas.* Since many general aviation aircraft have STC's to use auto fuel, (and many pilots choose to use auto fuel - especially during times of volatile fuel prices like we are currently experiencing), *we want to know what percentage they are taking out of the highway taxes and giving back to the aviation fund????????????** |
