AVIATION FUEL

Commercial Fuel Tax $0.043/gallon


Wow! I didn't know that the airlines paid almost no tax on fuel. Do the
corporate jets get the same tax break, or do they pay the higher rate of
..s28 per gallon? From your post, I take that they do not. How about the
new light jet businesses that do the taxi type charters?

The airlines really have balls complaining about others not paying their
fair share, when they pay squat on fuel, and little on per seat taxes.
Typical of their powerful lobby.

It still ****es me off, though.
