WOW!! Been flying my 150 /150 almost every day for the past week and the ONLY planes flying seem to be this class of aircraft. ( 150', 172',s ultra lites, small pipers, etc) I LOVE my 150/150 !! sipps MOGAS & Get this!!! a 12 year old kid and a screw driver can fix just about any problem on this airplane! The guys with the 'big' 100LL gas guzzlers are taking it in the shorts every time the cowl comes off! not to mention the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ of 100 LL!! What happens when 100LL is no more! and it's going to happen! By the way, the Cessna 150 with the 150 HP engine is AWSOME! kicks ass !! and sips MOGAS! takeoff run is about 350 feet 120 Kts cruise, and it's cheap to fly. I am looking purchase 'off road' (Farm) Auto gas so no Road taxes (sales tax only) that SAVES another .30 cents per gallon It's a Joy to have the sky all to myself! Comments???

Farmers pay the tax up front and then apply for a refund of the tax prorated between the on and off road use. Good luck with that. and just yesterday the out of town twins on our ramp out numbered all singles 2 to one... 2 Aztecs, a twinco, a C414, a Bonanza and an Arrow.... and there were a total of.... zero trolls flying 150s.

Now, now, Jim, let's not curb his, er, "irrational exuberance".... A 150 is a fine plane. A 150 with an O-320 is a great plane. Just so long as you don't want to actually go anywhere with anyone. So how do you go about getting a refund for gasoline not used on the highway? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" Back to top ArtP Guest Posted: Sun May 06, 2007 7:30 pm    Post subject: Re: WOW!! only 150 & 172's flying update!

Since you would be using it in a plane just send them the higher tax on aviation fuel and ask to have the smaller road tax refunded. You might save paperwork by just sending them the difference.

Actually, in Wisconsin you can present an "Aviation Use Declaration" to the gal at your local convenience store and she's only supposed to charge you the state aviation rate, which here, is less than the road use tax rate. But can you imagine her actually doing it? or believing you? At the end of each year we declare a certain percentage of our farm gasoline used "on road for non farming purposes". The tax on that fuel they keep and refund the balance in the form of a tax credit. We have to pay it first, then request the off road tax credit.

The Fuel tax on automobile gasoline has both state and federal components. The Federal tax is not waivable for aviation/off road use for people like you and I. There may be a valid farm/ag use waive, but not for ordinary GA. The state component may be waivable. In my state, it IS, and you get a form (available online) and submit it to the Comptroller (taxing authority for the state) and get a refund. Save your reciepts and keep good records (that is for retail sales at someone elses pump). If you have a tank, you may be able to purchase bulk without paying the tax up front, but again, good recordkeeping applies. If you use it in your car on the roads, that amount is legally taxable.
